While pregnant with her son, the future Emperor Ojin (reigned from approximately 270-310 A.D.), she took command of the army, led a successful invasion of Korea, and triumphantly assumed the regency until her son was to come of age. She is generally depicted in male attire, if not the full regalia of a warrior.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kuchi-e Tradition - Kuchi-e prints are woodblock frontispiece illustrations used in the publication of Japanese novels and magazines around the turn of the 20th century. Most of kuchi-e prints were illustrations of bijin and continued the tradition of idealized beauties in Japanese art. The subjects, however, have a decidedly Meiji era feel about them and reflect the artistic movement towards more western design. Kuchi-e prints always have two folds, because of their insertion in a magazine or book as an illustrative print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 folds and backed on thin Edo-era paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003clabel\u003eDate: \u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003clabel\u003e1892\u003c\/label\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003clabel\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/label\u003eBungei Kurabu.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOban tate-e 14 3\/8 by 9 3\/8 in., 36.6 by 23.7 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mie Gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42398547345486,"sku":"MG1106","price":267.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0095\/7602\/2094\/files\/mg1106-Yoshitoshi-EmpressJingu-japanese-woodblock-print.jpg?v=1745284406","url":"https:\/\/miegallery.com\/en-de\/products\/mg1106-yoshitoshi-empress-jingu-japanese-woodblock-print","provider":"Mie Gallery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
