Sekigahara, 410th anniversary
関ヶ原合戦410年祭 · Sekigahara Kassen 410-nensai Sekigahara, 410 ans in French
For the 410th anniversary of the Battle of Sekigahara, the town of Sekigahara (関ケ原町) entrusted Tetsuo Hara with the poster for its festival, “関ヶ原合戦410年祭”, unveiled on 29 August 2010. Rather than a battle scene, Hara produced a group portrait, titled “漢たちの宴”. Tokugawa Ieyasu stares down Ishida Mitsunari, surrounded by Shima Sakon, Otani Yoshitsugu, Maeda Keiji, Naoe Kanetsugu and Date Masamune. The poster, printed in B0 and B2 formats, was to be put up in Sekigahara, in public buildings across Gifu Prefecture and in shops throughout Japan. The festival took place on 16 and 17 October 2010. Separately, a hundred posters were given away by lottery during a walk around the battle’s camp sites. A blog praised it as a work crafted down to the smallest detail.
