EDITORS COMMENTS
This scroll painting from the 12th century depicts the warrior hero, Minamoto Yoshiiye, during the Gosannen War in Japan. With a determined expression on his face, Yoshiiye is shown observing the direction of flying geese to determine the position of his enemy. This unique strategy showcases both his keen observation skills and tactical brilliance. The artist skillfully captures Yoshiiye as he sits atop his majestic horse, bow in hand and arrow ready to be unleashed. The intensity of the moment is palpable as he prepares for battle with his cavalry troop behind him. Every detail, from the intricate armor worn by Yoshiiye to the flowing manes of their horses, adds depth and realism to this historical scene. The Gosannen War was also known as the Later Three Years War and took place between 1086-89 during Japan's Heian period. It was a time marked by political unrest and power struggles among various clans vying for control over land and resources. This scroll painting not only serves as a visual representation of an important historical event but also highlights Minamoto Yoshiiye's exceptional leadership qualities that made him a revered figure in Japanese history. As part of Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection curated by Bradley Smith, this print offers viewers a glimpse into ancient warfare tactics while celebrating Japanese culture and artistry from centuries ago.
