EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in history during the Mongolian invasion of Japan in 1274. Samurai Takezaki, portrayed with unwavering determination and courage, is depicted delivering the heads of two Mongol invaders to Adachi Morinume. The illustration, originally featured in Kokka magazine in May 1921, showcases the mastery of color lithography by Japanese School artists from the 13th century. The image transports us back to a time when warfare was fierce and honor held paramount importance. Takezaki Suenaga, who commissioned this pictorial scroll known as Moko Shurai Ekotoba in 1293, sought to immortalize his bravery on the battlefield through this artwork. It serves as a testament to his valiance and dedication. The composition highlights not only Takezaki's triumph but also emphasizes the significance placed upon scalps as trophies during that era. This visual representation offers viewers an insight into ancient commemoration practices and war customs prevalent at that time. Preserved within eArchives Charmet and now housed at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this historical artifact continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Its presence reminds us of the indomitable spirit displayed by warriors like Takezaki Suenaga throughout history while shedding light on their enduring legacy.
