    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[The title is a latin phrase with biblical origins that translates to &quot;where are you marching?&quot;. This quote describes the lone Japanese soldier with his back turned to us, standing at the crossroads in a barren landscape, uncertain of where to go. This surrealist depiction portrays melancholic state of Japan, as the nation faced an uncertain future after its defeat in World War 2. ]]></dcterms:description>

    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A surrealist painting that depicts the artist&#039;s sentiment towards the defeat of Japan following the second world war. In the foreground, we see a heap of human bodies stacked up in a rough pyramid shape in front of a barren desolate landscape. Despite the gloom appearance, there are subtle visual clues that conveys Fukuzawa&#039;s hope for Japan&#039;s revival. For example, rather than being in a state of decay, the cadavers appear muscular and robust, as if they still possess the potential to lift themselves up. ]]></dcterms:description>

It was created one year after Hagiwara&#039;s death in 1942. In this print, Onchi illuminates the life-long hard work and anguish that Hagiwara endured through the wrinkles on his face and his solemn expression.
