EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the historic Sino-Japanese War of 1895. The image showcases Japanese Sergeant Kawasaki fearlessly crossing the mighty Taedong River on the Korean Peninsula, embodying the spirit of reconnaissance and espionage during this significant conflict. As we gaze upon this woodblock triptych, created by Shogetsudo Matsunaga in 1895, we are transported to a time when tensions ran high between Japan and China. With his sword at his side, Sergeant Kawasaki braves the treacherous waters with determination etched across his face. His mission: to observe enemy movements from a vantage point that only swimming across this formidable river could provide. The late Meiji era serves as a backdrop for this powerful artwork, capturing an important turn of the century moment in East Asian history. This print is part of Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection, which aims to preserve historical moments through art. Through its intricate details and masterful craftsmanship, Matsunaga's work immortalizes not only Sergeant Kawasaki but also highlights the bravery and resourcefulness displayed by soldiers during times of war. It reminds us that even amidst chaos and conflict, individuals like Kawasaki played crucial roles in gathering intelligence that shaped military strategies. Let this remarkable piece transport you back in time as you marvel at both its artistic beauty and historical significance.
