Actors as Otsu-e Figures Fukurokuju and Benkei
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada in the 1850s. This work of art showcases two famous figures from Japanese mythology and legend, Fukurokuju and Benkei, depicted as Otsu-e figures. Fukurokuju, the deity of happiness, longevity, and good fortune, is shown on the left side of the print, dressed in a rich, green robe adorned with intricate patterns and accessories. He is often depicted with a fox and a treasured jewel, symbolizing wealth and prosperity. In this print, the artist masterfully captures the serene and content expression on Fukurokuju's face, emphasizing his role as the god of happiness. On the right side of the print, Benkei, the legendary warrior monk, is depicted in full armor and carrying a bow and arrow. Benkei is known for his loyalty and devotion to his master, Musashibo Benkei, and is often depicted with a fox, symbolizing his connection to the fox hunting legend. In this print, Benkei's fierce and determined expression conveys his strength and dedication. The actors portraying these iconic figures are dressed in authentic Edo period apparel, adding to the authenticity and historical accuracy of the print. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print make it a stunning example of the traditional Japanese art form of ukiyo-e. This full-length print, which measures approximately 37 x 26 cm, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Japan during the 19th century. It is a must-have for any collection of Asian art or for those interested in Japanese mythology, drama, and fashion clothing. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Japanese art.
