EDITORS COMMENTS
Kato Kiyomasa: The Resolute Lord of Kumamoto (1562-1611) This striking portrait captures the essence of Kato Kiyomasa, a pivotal figure in Japanese history during the late Sengoku period (1467-1603). Born into a humble background, Kiyomasa rose to prominence through his military prowess and unwavering loyalty to his lord, Oda Nobunaga. After Nobunaga's death in 1582, Kiyomasa pledged allegiance to Toyotomi Hideyoshi, who rewarded him with the governorship of Kumamoto Domain in 1587. In this portrait, Kiyomasa is depicted in a formal seated position, exuding an air of authority and confidence. He wears the traditional attire of a daimyo (feudal lord), including a lavish robe, a wide-brimmed hat, and a fan. The fan, an essential accessory for Japanese nobility, is delicately adorned with intricate designs, reflecting Kiyomasa's wealth and status. The portrait dates back to circa 1610, a time when Kiyomasa was at the height of his power. His stern expression and unyielding gaze suggest a man who was not only a capable military leader but also a shrewd political strategist. Kiyomasa's tenure as lord of Kumamoto was marked by significant expansion and development, making him a revered figure in the region's history. This portrait offers a glimpse into the grandeur and sophistication of the Japanese feudal era, as well as the indomitable spirit of a man who defied his humble origins to become a powerful and respected daimyo.
