Bunya no Watamaro and Surrendering Rebels in Oshu, 1880
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, part of his esteemed series "A Mirror of Great Warriors of Japan." This masterpiece, created in the late 19th century during the Meiji Era, showcases a pivotal moment in the history of Japan. The image portrays Bunya no Watamaro, a legendary Heian Period warrior, standing tall and resolute atop a hill, overlooking a group of surrendering rebels from Oshu Province in Mutsu. The rebels, dressed in ragged clothing and carrying weapons, have thrown down their arms and kneel in submission before their superior. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print bring the scene to life, with Bunya no Watamaro's red standard bearing the inscription "Taiso" (Great Military Commander) in elegant calligraphy. Bunya no Watamaro, a historical figure known for his military prowess, is depicted with a bow and arrow in hand, ready to take action if necessary. The background of the print features a serene farmland with fields stretching out to the horizon, adding to the tranquility of the scene despite the underlying tension. This powerful and evocative print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring legacy of its warriors. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese history, art, or culture, and can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) as part of their extensive collection. The print serves as a reminder of the past, showcasing the courage and determination of warriors like Bunya no Watamaro and the importance of peace and surrender in times of conflict.
