More about this artwork

This painting by Toyohara Kunichika, titled "Public Appearances of Shōgun," offers a vivid portrayal of a stately procession in feudal Japan. The scene is bustling with activity and elaborately dressed figures, capturing a moment that emphasizes tradition and the grandeur of the shogunate.The focal point of the artwork is a group of samurai warriors mounted on horses, clad in vibrant and intricately detailed armor that signifies their high-ranking status. The samurai wear kabuto (helmets) adorned with symbols, such as crescent moons and horns, which were often used to signify rank and affiliation. The use of bold colors and patterns in their armor is striking, with reds, blues, and golds creating a visually compelling tableau.Intermingled with the mounted samurai, you can see some foot soldiers and attendants. They wear less elaborate outfits but are essential to the procession, some carrying banners and others possibly acting as guides or guards. The banners feature clan symbols and other insigniae, signifying the diverse affiliations within the shogun's retinue.Off to the left side of the painting, the outline of a larger group of soldiers or a distant crowd is visible, suggesting the larger scale of the event or procession.

Toyohara Kunichika (1835–1900) was one of the most successful Japanese woodblock print artists during the Edo period. His passion for Kabuki shows drove him to mainly focus on producing prints of actors and actresses from Kabuki scenes, by using the Ukiyo-e style.
