EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the late 17th century in Japan, specifically Satsuma. The subject of the photograph is Yara (Gero), a renowned samurai known for his fearlessness and disregard for his own life. His stoic expression and commanding presence are captured perfectly in this portrait. Yara stands tall, dressed in traditional Japanese attire - a striking combination of a cloak, kimono, and other intricate garments that signify his status as a warrior. The attention to detail in his clothing showcases the craftsmanship of this era. The monochrome aesthetic adds an air of mystery to the image, emphasizing the timeless quality of Yara's story. It is evident that he was not just any ordinary man; he was deeply rooted in his country's history and culture. As we gaze at this print, we can't help but wonder about the battles Yara fought and the countless lives he impacted during this tumultuous period. This photograph serves as a reminder of Japan's rich heritage and its warriors who were willing to sacrifice everything for their beliefs. Credit must be given to Captain F Brinkley for capturing such an iconic moment through his lens. Through this image from "Japan: Its History, Arts and Literature" we are transported back centuries ago into an era filled with honor, bravery, and unwavering dedication to one's country.
