EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Act XI Third Episode: Moronao Captured and Shown Enya's Suicide Sword, between circa 1835 and circa 1839, is a captivating color woodblock print that showcases a pivotal moment in the Akō Vendetta, a famous Japanese drama of loyalty and revenge from the Edo period. The print depicts the character Kō no Moronao, also known as Moronao Ko no or Morono Ko no, being confronted by the Loyal League of Forty-Seven Ronin, led by Yuranosuke, after the betrayal and death of their master, Lord Asano. In this scene, Moronao, a man of great force and cunning, has been captured and brought before the ronin. He is shown with a dejected expression, surrounded by the determined and resolute group of men. The focus of the print, however, is the sword that lies on the ground before Moronao - Enya Hangan's suicide sword. The sword, a symbol of the betrayal and the reason for the vendetta, is being presented as evidence to Moronao, who is now facing the consequences of his actions. The exterior setting of the print, with its lush greenery and serene landscape, contrasts sharply with the intense and dramatic scene unfolding. The print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring the scene to life. The print is a valuable piece of Asian heritage art, showcasing the rich history and culture of Japan during the nineteenth century. This woodblock print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese literature, art, or history. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
