“Shosho Seiki Zu / Designs of Banners and Standards of Various Generals 2023”

What is Chungki? Flags and streamers
Or about military flags
Era full of war
Stand out on the battlefield
to show off who you are
Inventing unique shapes and patterns
I fought with that on my back
of the people of that Era who went to war
I can almost hear you breathing.
Isn't it?
(Katsuji Wakisaka)


Shosho Seiki Zu / Designs of Banners and Standards of Various Generals (2023, by Katsuji Wakisaka)
"Seiki" refers to banners, standards or military flags.
In the period when battles fought through days and nights,
in order to be noticeable and declare oneself in the battlefield,
the generals contrived unique shapes and motifs
and carried them on their backs to fight.
It's like you can almost hear the breath of the warriors of that era, isn't it?

Bannière des Généraux (2023, par Katsuji Wakisaka)
Le Seiki est un drapeau ou une bannière.
Une sorte d'étendard
utilisée à l'époque des guerres
Sur les champs de batailles.
Pour impressionner ses adversaires,
des forms et motifs unique étaient créées,
le tout porté sur le dos pendant les combats.
Ne peut-on pas presque entendre respirer
ces soldats partant au front?
