Bookstore situated in Tokyo, Japan. Feel free to have a look at our store! The print captures the dramatic moment when Japanese troops breach the city gates under heavy fire, advancing into the fortress. Explosions, billowing smoke, and the forward charge of soldiers convey the chaos and intensity of modern warfare. Yosai Nobukazu, an active ukiyo-e artist of the Meiji era, was known for his dynamic and realistic depictions of military subjects. His war prints, including this one, served not only as visual records of contemporary battles but also as patriotic propaganda, promoting national pride and support for Japan’s military campaigns. This work exemplifies the powerful narrative and emotive style that characterized late 19th-century Japanese war imagery. For items condition please see photos and comment.

Thank you for visiting! Okayama Castle Morning, 1955 (Showa 30). Okayama Castle was built in 1597 by Ukita Hideie, one of the Five Great Elders of Toyotomi. The imposing three-story, six-story castle tower is said to have been modeled after Oda Nobunaga’s Azuchi Castle and has an unequal pentagonal base, which is rare in Japan. It is a valuable keep that conveys the ancient style before the Battle of Sekigahara. It is also known as “Karasu Castle” because of its black clapboard exterior, and “Kin Karasu Castle” because of the gold ornamentation. Kawase Hasui visited Okayama in 1921 and 1934, and it is thought that this work was painted from the ferry crossing the Asahikawa River (today it is a suspension bridge) from Korakuen Garden to Okayama Castle. Overall, it is in good condition for its age without major flaws. The colors remain vivid. Please see photos for condition. If it sells first, it may run out of stock. Thank you for your understanding.
