A PAIR OF MAGNIFICENT HASEGAWA SCHOOL SCREENS.
This pair of screens depicts one of the most iconic scenes of the Japanese history where the two warriors compete at the bridge at Uji river, lined with willow trees. During the wars between the Minamoto (Genji) and Taira (Heike) clans in the 1180s, the planks of the Uji Bridge were partally destroyed to defend the nearby Byôdôin Temple. It was early spring, the ice and snow from nearby mountains have melted and they found the river flooded. White waves race downstream, creating enormous eddies. Yoshitsune, the Minamoto commander, turns to his men for advice, asking whether they should wait for the river to subside. Just then, the two warriors galloped into sight. Although neither of them let their intentions be known, each had secretly resolved to be the first to cross the river.
