EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print from the 18th century depicts a legendary Japanese warrior known as Tametomo, or Chinzei Hachiro Tametomo. In this scene, Tametomo is shown holding his bow, engaged in a fierce struggle with either a man or an ogre who is attempting to draw the string. The artist behind this intricate piece is Kitao Shigemasa. The composition of the print beautifully captures the intensity and strength of Tametomo as he battles against his opponent. His determined expression and firm grip on the bow reflect his unwavering resolve in defending himself against any threat that comes his way. Tametomo's armor adds to his formidable presence, showcasing both his status as a samurai and providing him with protection during combat. The inclusion of an ogre in this artwork adds an element of fantasy and mystique to the scene, highlighting Tametomo's prowess even further. This woodcut print not only serves as a visual representation of historical Japanese warriors but also offers insight into their values such as bravery, honor, and resilience. It provides viewers with a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage during the Heian period (12th century) when longbows were commonly used by warriors like Tametomo. Overall, this artwork by Kitao Shigemasa stands as a testament to the enduring legacy of brave warriors like Minamoto Tametomo and their indomitable spirit throughout history.
