EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Stunning Woodblock Print by Utagawa Kuniteru from the 19th Century This woodblock print, titled "Battle for Nagaoka Castle (image 2 of 4)" and created by Utagawa Kuniteru in 1868, offers a breathtaking aerial view of the historic battlefield in Echigo Province, Japan. The print is a triptych, showcasing the strategic location of Nagaoka Castle and its surrounding geographical features in intricate detail. The print depicts the Battle of Nagaoka Castle during the War of Succession in Echigo Province, a significant conflict in Japanese history that took place between Uesugi Kagekatsu and Uesugi Kunitaka, also known as Kunitsuna. The elevated view allows the viewer to appreciate the vastness of the landscape, with the castle situated on a hill overlooking a lake and a river winding through the valley below. The print is filled with vibrant greens and earthy tones, adding to the sense of distance and the strategic importance of the location. The flags of the opposing armies can be seen dotting the landscape, adding a dynamic element to the otherwise serene view. The triptych format allows for a comprehensive understanding of the battlefield, with each panel offering a different perspective. This stunning work of art, published during the nineteenth century, is a testament to the artistic and historical significance of woodblock printing in Japan. It is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about Japan's rich cultural heritage. The print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese history, art, or geography.
