The print titled *Eastern Enemy* is part of Olga Florenskaya’s 2002 series *Russian Trophy*, a satirical project critiquing militarism and xenophobia through imaginary museum artifacts. The work depicts a flag resembling Japan’s national banner but with altered colors, accompanied by Russian and English text, and is signed, numbered, and dated in pencil. The piece is blind-stamped by the Hand Print Workshop and is one of several such prints contained in a wooden crate resembling military supplies.
