EDITORS COMMENTS
The War in the East (litho) captures a significant moment during the First Sino-Japanese War, as depicted by the English School in the 19th century. This print, part of a private collection, showcases Japanese troops departing from a port of embarkation in Korea. In this scene, we witness an emotional farewell as Korean locals gather to watch their brave soldiers march off to war. The image exudes both anticipation and trepidation as these Asian warriors prepare for battle on foreign soil. The meticulous engraving beautifully portrays the review prior to departure, where troops stand tall and proud under the watchful eye of their revered leader, Mikado. Their disciplined formation reflects their unwavering commitment to defend their homeland against foreign aggression. The inclusion of Korean civilians adds depth and complexity to this historical narrative. As they observe with mixed emotions - pride for their defenders but also concern for what lies ahead - it is evident that war affects not only those who fight but also those left behind. This lithograph serves as a powerful reminder of the tumultuous times in East Asia during this era. It highlights themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and cultural exchange while shedding light on an often overlooked conflict between Japan and China.
