EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history during the battle of Dannoura. The print depicts Saga Gorac Mitsutoki, a fierce warrior clad in protective padded armor that bears witness to his bravery and resilience. Numerous arrows protrude from his armor, evidence of the intense battles he has fought. Mitsutoki is shown prostrating himself on board a Taira ship, surrounded by Emperor Antoku, Tomomori, and other important figures. His posture reflects both respect and submission as he reports to them about the ongoing battle. The scene is filled with tension and anticipation as these powerful individuals await news of victory or defeat. The artist's masterful use of color brings life to the print, enhancing its dramatic impact. Shades of red symbolize bloodshed and danger while contrasting with the vibrant blues representing the vastness of the sea surrounding them. Utagawa Kuniyoshi skillfully captures not only Mitsutoki's physical strength but also his unwavering loyalty and dedication to his cause. This print serves as a testament to the courage displayed by warriors like Mitsutoki during times of war. Quint Lox's interpretation sheds light on this remarkable artwork from Liszt Collection without any commercial intent but rather focuses on appreciating its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
