Lord Yoritomo Traveling to Kyoto in the First Year of Kenkyu Period (circa 1285)
EDITORS COMMENTS
: This stunning triptych print by Sadahide Utagawa depicts a significant moment in Japanese history, the journey of Minamoto no Yoritomo, the founder of the Kamakura Shogunate, to Kyoto in the first year of the Kenkyu period (circa 1285). The print, created in the 1860s, is a masterpiece of the ukiyo-e genre and showcases Sadahide's exceptional skill as a block print artist. The image captures the grandeur and magnitude of the procession as Lord Yoritomo, accompanied by his armed forces, makes his way across a bridge in Kinki, Japan, en route to Kyoto. The triptych format allows for a dynamic representation of the scene, with each panel offering a different perspective of the journey. The central panel showcases Lord Yoritomo on horseback, leading his troops, while the left panel depicts the procession crossing a bridge, and the right panel shows the rooftops of buildings along the route. The intricate details of the soldiers, their armor, and the animals in the procession are beautifully rendered, as are the textures of the clothing and the natural elements in the background. This print is a testament to Sadahide's artistic vision and his ability to capture the essence of a historical moment. It is a valuable piece of heritage art that offers a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural history and the grandeur of the past. The triptych is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art or history.
