[Japanese] [Military] [Art][ Feminism] Utagawa, Sadahide. Return of Victorious Empress Jing? to Japan after Her Conquest of Korea. 1842 visualizes the legendary female sovereign Jing? and reflects Edo period engagement with imperial mythology, martial valor, and gendered authority. Produced during the late Tokugawa era, the triptych reinforces narratives of divine leadership and territorial expansion embedded in Japanese mythic historiography. It supports research in Japanese imperial ideology, representations of female warriors, Edo print culture, and pre Meiji nationalist imagery. Utagawa Sadahide. Return of Victorious Empress Jing? to Japan after Her Conquest of Korea. Japan, 1842. Horizontal triptych woodblock print. Signed Gountei Sadahide ga. Three joined sheets measuring 35 x 73 cm. The composition stages Jing? in full armor, equipped with katana, wakizashi, and quiver, presiding over returning warriors beneath rising sun imagery. Identified figures in red cartouches situate the scene within a lineage of named martial retainers, blending myth and historical imagination. Issued during a period when historical and legendary subjects gained renewed attention amid domestic tension and foreign pressure, such prints contributed to visual constructions of imperial antiquity later mobilized during Meiji state formation. Strong color retention with minor edge wear, vertical fold lines typical of triptychs, and scattered toning. Very good. A commanding Edo period visualization of female martial authority within Japanese mythic history. Signed.
