EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century colour woodblock print showcases a spirited game of polo played by warriors in Japan. Created by the Japanese School, this artwork is part of a remarkable album of woodcuts from the same era. The scene depicts an exhilarating display of equestrian sports during the Edo period, offering a glimpse into the customs and entertainment enjoyed by the people of East Asia. The chaotic yet mesmerizing composition captures the essence of competition and camaraderie among these skilled horseback riders. Clad in traditional kimonos, these male warriors exude masculinity as they skillfully maneuver their horses across the field. Spectators are seated under towering trees, engrossed in this thrilling spectacle unfolding before them. The illustration not only showcases athleticism but also emphasizes cultural elements such as calligraphy and Japanese writing incorporated throughout the artwork. It serves as a testament to both artistic prowess and historical significance. As we admire this triptych print, we are transported back to an era when polo was more than just a sport; it was an embodiment of tradition and honor for these noble warriors. This piece from Heritage Images allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also offers insight into Japan's rich history and love for equestrian pursuits.
