EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This print showcases a fragment of the handscroll "Battle at Rokuhara" from "The Tale of the Heiji Rebellion" created in the first quarter of the 14th century during Japan's Kamakura period. The artwork depicts a fierce clash between two powerful military clans, the Minamoto and Taira, which occurred late in 1159. In this action-packed scene, warriors on horseback engage in intense combat, wielding an array of deadly weapons. The vibrant green and orange colors bring life to the painting, emphasizing the violence and chaos that unfolded during this historical conflict. The scroll fragment has been carefully mounted as a hanging scroll by unknown hands, preserving its heritage artistry for generations to come. It is currently housed within the esteemed Metropolitan Museum of Art (the Met) where it serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural history. As we gaze upon this ancient masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the bravery and sacrifice displayed by these brave men. Their determination to protect their clan and country is evident through every stroke of ink on paper. Through this remarkable artwork, we gain insight into one of Japan's most significant rebellions - The Heiji Rebellion - forever immortalized by an anonymous artist who skillfully captured both beauty and brutality within a single frame.
