Warrior Taira-no-Tadanori About to Sleep under a Cherry Tree (image 2 of 3), 1884
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kobayashi Kiyochika. This exquisite work of art, created in the late 19th century during the Meiji Era, is a stunning representation of the Heian Period's rich cultural heritage. The image portrays Taira-no-Tadanori, a 12th-century warrior, as he prepares to rest under the blooming cherry tree. The tranquil scene is set against the backdrop of a serene night, with the moon casting a gentle glow over the peaceful landscape. Tadanori is dressed in traditional Heian Period attire, wearing a flowing kimono and a distinctive wide-brimmed hat. His expression is calm and contemplative, as if lost in thought or poetry. The triptych, or three-paneled design, showcases Tadanori in various stages of preparation for sleep. In this second image, he has removed his outer robe and is in the process of undoing the ties of his kimono, revealing the intricate patterns and layers of his undergarments. The cherry tree, in full bloom, frames the warrior, symbolizing the fleeting beauty of life and the passage of time. This woodblock print is a masterpiece of Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that focuses on the depiction of everyday life and the natural world. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to a time and place far removed from the modern world. The print is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
