EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print showcases the intense Battle of the Uji River, which took place during the 1720s or 1730s in Japan's Edo Period. The artwork measures 29.2 x 15.3 cm (11 1/2 x 6 in. ) and is part of the Liszt Collection. The print transports us back to a time of fierce conflict, where warriors clash on the banks of the Uji River. The artist masterfully captures every detail, from the swirling currents of water to the billowing smoke rising from muskets and cannons. The vibrant colors bring life to this historical event, evoking a sense of urgency and chaos. In this depiction, we witness soldiers engaged in hand-to-hand combat with swords gleaming under sunlight filtering through dense foliage. Their determined expressions reveal their unwavering commitment to victory as they navigate treacherous terrain amidst cries for battle echoing across the riverbanks. The Battle of Uji River holds great significance within Japanese history as it symbolizes power struggles between rival factions during a period marked by political instability and military conflicts. This woodblock print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a valuable historical document that immortalizes this pivotal moment in time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of Japan's rich cultural heritage but also its tumultuous past filled with valor and sacrifice.
