Child Calms a Horse by Covering His Head with Her Jacket,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the Meiji Era of the late 19th century. This masterpiece is part of the "The Postal News" series, no. 472, and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The image portrays a serene scene of two individuals in a rural setting. A young boy, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, stands calmly beside an unruly horse. The horse, with reins in hand, appears agitated, its ears pinned back and eyes wide with fear. The boy, in an attempt to soothe the animal, covers its head with his female companion's jacket. The gentle touch of the jacket against the horse's head, combined with the boy's quiet demeanor, seems to have a calming effect on the animal. The print showcases the artist's exceptional skill in woodblock printing, with intricate details and vivid colors. The use of calligraphy adds to the overall beauty and authenticity of the piece. The concept of regionalism is evident in the depiction of rural life, highlighting the daily struggles and simple joys of country living. Despite the difficulty in controlling an unruly horse, the boy's determination and compassion are evident in his actions. The image conveys a sense of tranquility and harmony, making it a timeless piece of heritage art that continues to captivate audiences today. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Meiji Period and serves as a reminder of the beauty and complexity of daily life in rural areas during that time. The image invites us to appreciate the connection between humans and animals, and the power of compassion and understanding in overcoming challenges.
