EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock engraving by Katsushika Hokusai transports us to feudal Japan, depicting the legendary Sima Wengong (Shiba Onko) and Shinozuka, Lord of Iga (Shinozuka-iga-no-teami). The print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of Hokusai, measuring 21.3x18.5 cm and housed in the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge. The scene unfolds against a backdrop of serene beauty; a cherry tree blooms delicately beside a tranquil stream while rocks dotting the landscape add depth and texture. Clad in traditional samurai armor, Shiba Onko stands tall with his lance held firmly, embodying strength and valor. Beside him is Lord Shinozuka, dressed in an elaborate costume that reflects his noble status. A unique aspect of this artwork lies within its inscription - carefully etched text adds historical context to the image. This shikishi ban engraving captures not only their physical appearance but also their esteemed positions within Japanese society during this period. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from centuries past, we are transported back in time to witness these iconic figures who have become legends in Japanese history. Their presence evokes a sense of awe and admiration for their bravery and dedication as warriors. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this print allows us to appreciate Hokusai's mastery while providing insight into Japan's rich cultural heritage.
