description: Rough Seas and the Age of Exploration 8-2 Sino-Japanese War is part of the series, Hiruko and the Puppeteers (2008), and is one of the largest and most ambitious of the artist's career sustaining her longstanding focus on transnational history, warfare, and Japan's brutal colonization of its Asian neighbors. The nishiki-e (traditional multicolored Japanese woodblock prints) collaged into this work depict the pivotal naval clash of the First Sino-Japanese War (189495). The vivid, celebratory tones of nishiki-e, which glorified military victories through propaganda art are in stark contrast with haunting imagery that features ghostly figures and blood-stained scenes of Chinese civilians under the control of Japanese soldiers. This work exemplifies Tomiyamas sharp critique of imperialism, in which images of celebration and death are eerily juxtaposed. This unsettling and grotesque combination serves as a stark portrayal of imperialism itself, a theme that recurs throughout her work. It embodies Tomiyamas unwavering determination to confronts the grim and enduring legacy of imperialism and invites viewers to reflect on these harrowing histories. As is customary in Japan, the artist's last name is recorded first.

A celebratory flower ball draws the viewer into an undersea world, but reveals itself to be a jellyfish, silently spreading its toxins. Set against a deep green background, the sea floor exposes remnants of imperialism that have been hauntingly preserved, including the emperors official emblem and stylized Manchurian costumes. Amidst these relics, a capitalist party unfolds, engulfed in gold confettia spectacle of excess and consumption, contrasting with the forgotten toxins looming above.

This work represents the curtain call for the sea wanderers and travelers. Among the cast of characters are Malaysian and Indonesian puppets, Polynesian masks, a Western minstrel, Otafuku (a Japanese goddess known for her round face, rosy cheeks, and a cheerful smile, symbolizing happiness and prosperity), and the literary figure Ah Q from Lu Xuns 1921 novella. Lu Xun (1881-1936), a pioneering Chinese writer, used vernacular Chinese in his works to expose the struggles and injustices faced by common people amid modernization and Western imperialism. Tomiyama calls these characters troubadours (tabi-geinin), evoking medieval wandering performers who carried culture and religion with them, freely mingling and sharing ideas across borders. Tomiyama even includes herself in the painting (bottom right), identifying as a fellow traveler and puppeteer performing her art around the globe. Following traditional Japanese naming conventions, last name is provided first.
