1904 Defeated Make Products Russian Seated Sell Shows Soldier Soldiers Table Tobacco Utagawa Kofuku Kunimasa
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Roshia make tabako no kAcfuku, Defeated tobacco seller" artist Utagawa Kunimasa takes us back to the year 1904. The scene portrays a Russian soldier, defeated and humbled, seated at a table adorned with an array of tobacco products. His intention is clear - to sell these items to Japanese soldiers. The composition exudes tension as we witness the clash of cultures and power dynamics between the two nations. The Russian soldier's posture suggests resignation and defeat, while his eyes betray a hint of desperation. Meanwhile, the Japanese soldiers remain stoic and uninterested in his wares. Kunimasa's masterful use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the print. The warm hues highlight the contrasting emotions on display - from the subdued tones surrounding the defeated seller to the bold colors adorning his merchandise. This artwork serves as a poignant reminder of historical conflicts and their impact on individuals caught in their midst. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as imperialism, commerce, cultural exchange, and resilience amidst adversity.
