EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Humors, Devil to Suppress Kwai Danzi," offers a satirical commentary on the geopolitical landscape of the early 20th century. The central image features a young, robust man representing Japan as the God of Peace, triumphantly lifting a defeated figure labeled as Russia, with Tsar Nicholas II, wearing a crown and holding a white flag. Japan stands atop a damaged Russian battleship, symbolizing Japan's victory in the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Surrounding this central motif are various figures representing major world powers of the time. Germany, depicted as a muscular man wearing a helmet and holding a Japanese flag, stomps on the Russian flag with a heavy foot. China, symbolized by a dragon, hides behind Japan's skirt for protection. France, personified as a woman, holds a Japanese flag in one hand and a torch in the other, representing the alliance between the two nations. Turkey, represented by a man wearing a fez and holding a Turkish flag, also joins Japan in suppressing Russia. The United States, North America, and England are also present in the print. The United States, symbolized by an eagle, stands with its wings spread wide, while North America is depicted as a Native American figure. England, represented by the British lion, stands with the other allies, demonstrating their united front against Russia. This intricately designed woodblock print, created in 1904, offers a fascinating glimpse into the political climate of the early 20th century and the complex web of alliances and tensions that existed between various world powers. The print's satirical tone and bold use of symbolism make it a valuable historical artifact and an intriguing work of art.
