EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Yoshiie Ason: The Barrier at Nakoso" transports viewers to the enchanting landscapes of Japan in the late 19th century. Created by renowned artist Gekko, Ogata, this colour woodblock print captures the essence of a serene countryside scene during the Meiji era. In this picturesque setting, cherry blossom trees bloom vibrantly, painting the landscape with delicate shades of pink and white. Against this backdrop, a lone rider on horseback gracefully traverses through the countryside. Dressed as a warrior monk from ancient times, he exudes an air of strength and tranquility. The print pays homage to Minamoto no Yoshiie, a legendary figure known for his military prowess during Japan's Heian period. With bow and arrows in hand, he embodies both power and elegance as he engages in horse riding - a popular sport during that time. Gekko's meticulous attention to detail brings every element of this artwork to life – from the intricate blossoms adorning each tree branch to the subtle expressions on Yoshiie's face. Through his idle brush strokes, Gekko masterfully captures not only nature's beauty but also evokes emotions within those who gaze upon it. Displayed at UCL Art Museum in University College London, this woodblock print serves as a timeless reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and its deep appreciation for nature. It invites us to immerse ourselves in its tranquil charm while celebrating both tradition and artistry.
