EDITORS COMMENTS
In this striking portrait, Maeda Toshiie (1538-1599), the Feudal Chieftain of Kaga, Noto, and Etchu, is depicted in his regal attire from the late 16th century in Japan. Maeda Toshiie was a powerful daimyo, or feudal lord, who ruled over significant territories in the Hokuriku region, including the provinces of Kaga, Noto, and Etchu. The portrait showcases Maeda Toshiie's grandeur and status. He wears a formal kimono, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, symbolizing his wealth and power. The kimono is secured with a sash called a hakama, which is worn around the waist and falls to the ankles. A decorative obi belt, with a large tassel, is tied around the hakama. Maeda Toshiie's hairstyle is also noteworthy, with his long, flowing locks styled in a topknot, held in place by a traditional hairpin. His facial expression is serious and resolute, reflecting the responsibilities and challenges of ruling over vast territories during a time of political instability. The background of the portrait is simple, with a plain, dark backdrop that allows the intricacies of Maeda Toshiie's attire to stand out. The portrait provides a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the Japanese feudal era, as well as the importance of fashion and appearance in conveying power and status. This portrait, dating from the 1590s, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the late Sengoku period. It offers a unique insight into the life and times of one of the most influential figures in Japanese history, Maeda Toshiie, the Feudal Chieftain of Kaga, Noto, and Etchu.
