EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in history during the Mongolian invasion of Japan in 1274. The image showcases Japanese soldiers on horseback, gallantly riding through a serene pine forest. This illustration, originally featured in Kokka magazine in May 1921, was created by the talented Japanese School from the 13th century. The focal point of this artwork is Takezaki Suenaga, a renowned warrior who commissioned this pictorial scroll called Moko Shurai Ekotoba to showcase his bravery and valor in battle. Mounted on his majestic steed, Suenaga stands tall as he leads his troops through the dense woodlands. The composition beautifully highlights the harmony between man and nature as these soldiers navigate their way through towering pine trees. The vibrant colors used in this color lithograph add depth and life to the scene, immersing viewers into this historical event. This commemorative piece serves as a testament to the courage and resilience of both Japanese soldiers and their horses during times of war. It symbolizes not only their military prowess but also their deep connection with nature. Preserved within Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this remarkable artwork continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its depiction of an important chapter in Japan's history - an enduring tribute to those who fought bravely against foreign invaders.
