EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating woodblock print, "Musashi Plain Moon" transports viewers to the enchanting landscapes of 19th century Japan. Created by Yoshitoshi Tsukioka in 1891-92, this nishiki-e masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent and mastery of color woodcut technique. Measuring at an impressive 55.4x40.3 cm, the print depicts a serene moonlit scene on Musashi Plain. The artist skillfully employs bokashi, a tonal gradation technique, to create depth and atmosphere within the composition. The result is a breathtaking display of vibrant colors that bring life to every element in the image. In this picturesque setting, we find ourselves immersed in nature's tranquility. A majestic river flows gracefully through the landscape while gentle moonlight bathes everything it touches with its ethereal glow. Amidst this idyllic scenery stands a lone fox or vixen, symbolizing wisdom and cunningness often associated with these creatures in Japanese folklore. This artwork captures not only the beauty of nature but also evokes a sense of solitude as there are no human figures present within the frame. It invites us to reflect upon our own connection with nature and appreciate its inherent serenity. Displayed at Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this piece exemplifies Yoshitoshi's artistic brilliance and serves as a testament to his enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated artists from the late nineteenth century.
