Painting Description
"Bataille d'Ujigawa" is a woodblock print by Utagawa Yoshitora, a Japanese ukiyo-e artist active during the late Edo and early Meiji periods. This print is part of a genre of Japanese woodblock prints known as musha-e, which focuses on depicting samurai and scenes of battle. The artwork illustrates the historic Battle of Uji River (Ujigawa), which was a significant conflict that took place in 1180 during the Genpei War—a national civil war between the Taira and Minamoto clans that ultimately led to the establishment of the Kamakura shogunate in Japan.
Utagawa Yoshitora was a student of the renowned Utagawa school, under the tutelage of Utagawa Kuniyoshi, who was famous for his warrior prints. Yoshitora adopted his master's interest in historical and legendary subjects, often creating works that featured dramatic compositions and vivid character portrayals. "Bataille d'Ujigawa" exemplifies Yoshitora's skill in capturing the intensity and movement of battle scenes, as well as his attention to historical detail.
The print is characterized by its dynamic use of line and color, effectively conveying the chaos and ferocity of the battlefield. Warriors clad in detailed armor are seen clashing against a backdrop of the Uji River, with some figures heroically standing out amidst the struggle. The use of perspective and foreshortening enhances the three-dimensionality of the scene, drawing the viewer into the heart of the conflict.
As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Bataille d'Ujigawa" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, carvers, printers, and publishers. The print would have been part of a series, a common practice in ukiyo-e production, where multiple images related to a theme or story were created for sale to the public. These prints were not only works of art but also served as a means of disseminating historical and cultural narratives to a wide audience.
"Bataille d'Ujigawa" by Utagawa Yoshitora is a significant work that reflects the rich tradition of Japanese woodblock printing and the enduring fascination with Japan's warrior past. It remains an important example of Yoshitora's artistic legacy and the ukiyo-e genre's contribution to the visual culture of the Edo period.
