EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Utagawa Yoshitora depicts the dramatic battle at Kawanakajima in Shinshu, known as the great battle of Shinsha Kawanakajima Acg[k?]assen. Created between 1844 and 1848, this woodcut print consists of four sheets, each showcasing a different panel. The left panel measures 35 x 24.1 cm, followed by the center-left panel at 34.3 x 24 cm. The center-right panel is slightly larger at 34.4 x 23.8 cm, while the right panel measures 35.1 x 24.5 cm. In this scene from what appears to be the fourth battle in 1561, we witness an intense clash on the plains near Chikuma River. The artist skillfully captures the chaos and energy of warfare through vibrant colors and intricate details. Utagawa Yoshitora's mastery shines through as he portrays warriors engaged in fierce combat with weapons raised high and determined expressions on their faces. This remarkable artwork transports us back to a pivotal moment in history when rival clans fought for supremacy in feudal Japan. It serves as a testament to both Yoshitora's artistic prowess and his ability to convey historical events with such vividness. Quint Lox has expertly captured this powerful image from Liszt Collection - a testament to its enduring significance and appeal across generations fascinated by Japanese history and artistry.
