EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Japanese history - the Heiji Rebellion of 1159. In this mid-13th-century scroll drawing, we witness the intense drama unfolding outside Sanjo Palace in Kyoto. The rebellion was marked by fierce power struggles between nobles loyal to Emperor Go-Shirakawa and those seeking to overthrow him. The image showcases a group of noble warriors, resolute and determined, locked out of the palace gates. Their expressions reveal their unwavering loyalty to Emperor Go-Shirakawa as they desperately try to regain access to their stronghold. Clad in traditional armor and armed with weapons, these men embody the spirit of honor and duty that defined samurai culture during this tumultuous period. The artist's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke on this scroll drawing brings life and authenticity to the scene. From the intricate patterns adorning their garments to the ox-drawn carriage waiting patiently nearby, each element contributes to our understanding of Japan's rich historical tapestry. As we gaze upon this masterpiece from Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection, we are transported back in time - witnessing firsthand an era filled with political turmoil and warrior ethos. This print serves as a powerful reminder of Japan's vibrant past and its enduring legacy shaped by events like the Heiji Rebellion.
