EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Japanese history during the Boshin War of 1868. Yamaoka Tesshu, a loyal vassal of the Shogun, is depicted here riding on horseback from Edo to meet the forces under Saigo, who were aligned with the Emperor. Acting independently and displaying remarkable courage, Tesshu proposed that the attack on Edo be postponed until a peace conference could be arranged. The artist Toshiei skillfully brings this historical event to life through his woodblock triptych created in 1891. The intricate details and vibrant colors showcase not only his artistic talent but also provide viewers with a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage. In this image, we witness Tesshu clad in traditional clothing as he confidently rides his horse amidst motion and mid-action. His determination and dedication are palpable as he embarks on this important mission for peace during a time of conflict. This photograph serves as a reminder of the bravery exhibited by individuals like Yamaoka Tesshu who played crucial roles in shaping Japan's transition from the feudal Edo period to modernity during Meiji era. It stands as an enduring testament to their unwavering commitment towards achieving harmony and stability within their nation.
