First, it wasn't commissioned by the military nor is it based on any specific military event or photograph. Miyamoto's conception for this painting came purely from this own imagination. Secondly, and most apparent, this painting does not portray a glorious subject. It shows an injured and downtrodden Japanese soldier surprised and horrified by his own face reflected from a puddle. Other than highlighting the horrors of war, this painting also depicts the dilemma of Japanese people trying to find their ideal self-identity in a caucasian-centered world.
