Negotiations after the Sino-Japanese War, March 1895 - A Glimpse into Historical Diplomacy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Keisai takes us back to a significant moment in history - the negotiations following the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895. The image portrays a group of men engaged in intense discussions, representing both China and Japan. Dressed in traditional attire and military uniforms, they exude an air of authority and determination. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this crucial period through his use of ink and color on paper. The vibrant hues bring life to their surroundings while highlighting the gravity of these negotiations. Notable among them is a bearded man bowing deeply, symbolizing respect and submission during this delicate process. This act reflects the cultural practice known as kowtowing, demonstrating deference towards one's counterpart. The triptych format enhances our understanding by presenting different aspects of these negotiations within a single composition. It allows us to witness various stages: from initial talks to moments that may have led up to signing a peace treaty. Keisai's work serves as an invaluable historical document, shedding light on diplomatic efforts during this transformative era for both nations involved. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it stands as a testament to heritage artistry and its ability to capture pivotal moments in time. As we gaze upon this woodblock print today, we are reminded not only of past conflicts but also how
