EDITORS COMMENTS
The Battle of Nagashino (Later Retitled) (image 2 of 3)," a stunning woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, was published in 1868, showcasing a pivotal moment in Japanese history. This work of art depicts the climax of the Battle of Nagashino, which took place in the 16th century between the forces of Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, led by their respective commanders, and the Takeda clan, headed by Takeda Katsuyori. The print captures the intensity and chaos of the battlefield, with full-length figures of the historic figures engaged in fierce combat. The central focus is on the decisive moment when Oda's forces, positioned on a hill, unleash a volley of arrows and cannon fire towards the approaching Takeda army. The image is filled with a colorful array of explosions, smoke, and the determined expressions of the soldiers. The historic significance of this battle is evident in the intricate details of the print. Oda Nobunaga, dressed in elegant armor, stands at the forefront of his troops, directing the attack, while Tokugawa Ieyasu, clad in more modest attire, observes the battle from a distance. The defeated Takeda Katsuyori is shown on horseback, surrounded by his defeated soldiers, signifying the end of the Takeda clan's power. This masterpiece is a testament to Yoshitoshi's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of a pivotal moment in Japanese history. The print is now part of the esteemed collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about Japan's rich cultural heritage.
