EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the tragic tale of Go-Daigo, the unfortunate Emperor of Japan, as he is forced to hold court in the desolate mountains. Created by an English School artist in the 20th century, this print showcases Go-Daigo's struggle against tyranny and feudal lords who held absolute power during his reign from 1319 to 1339. The image depicts a pivotal moment in history when Go-Daigo's revolt against the Hojo clan was defeated, leading him into exile. Despite subsequent attempts to regain control over his empire with support from loyal friends like the Minamoto clan, Go-Daigo faced numerous challenges including debauchery and flight before eventually returning to rule. The lithograph beautifully portrays the emperor's isolation amidst towering mountains, symbolizing both his physical exile and his fight for justice. The intricate details highlight not only Go-Daigo's determination but also evoke a sense of melancholy that surrounds his story. Originally created as an illustration for an edition of Harmsworth History of the World around 1910, this powerful artwork reminds us of Go-Daigo's resilience and unwavering spirit despite facing immense hardships throughout his life. Preserved in a private collection today, this print serves as a testament to historical events that shaped Japan and continues to captivate viewers with its poignant narrative.
