EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable moment in history - the Mongol warriors sent by Kublai Khan, the emperor of China, to invade Japan in 1274. The intricate detail captured on this Japanese scroll painting, attributed to Tosa Nagataka and Tosa Nagaaki around c1293, transports us back to the late Kamakura period in feudal Japan. The image depicts a powerful Mongolian soldier mounted on horseback, representing the formidable cavalry troop that was part of this invasion force. With their skilled horsemanship and military prowess, these warriors were determined to conquer new lands under the command of Kublai Khan. The painting not only captures the strength and determination of these soldiers but also provides insight into their unique armor and weaponry. It serves as a testament to both the artistic talent of Tosa Nagataka and Tosa Nagaaki as well as their ability to document historical events with precision. This piece offers a glimpse into an important chapter in East Asian history - when two great empires clashed through amphibious warfare. As we admire this artwork from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection curated by Bradley Smith, let us reflect upon the complexities of power struggles between nations throughout time.
