Artist's Comments

Tale of the Genji. The rider must shoot the fan from a rivals boat that is out to sea to prove his skill. The seas are rough, the wind is blowing and the sun is setting as he rides his horse into the surf to take a shot at the fan.

This is apperently a true story and the young archer does succeed in shooting the fan thus proving his skill and honor. From this moment the nation that is to become a united Japan emerges.

As usual, watercolors on illustration board.
