Notes:
Drawn from Hideo Takeda's acclaimed Genpei Series, The Drowning of Emperor Antoku reimagines one of the most poignant episodes in Japanese history through the artist's unmistakably bold visual language. The composition contrasts the richly patterned mass of pursuing warriors with the pale figure of the child emperor disappearing into the sea, creating an image that is at once dramatic, graphic, and surprisingly elegant.
