EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print is a page from Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's Compiled Album from Four Series: A Mirror of Famous Generals of Japan, created between 1876 and 1882. The image showcases two generals, dressed in traditional Japanese attire of the Meiji Era, seated and looking away from each other. The distrustful expressions on their faces are palpable, as one hand washes the other in a gesture of hygiene, a common practice during this period to ensure good health. The intricate details of their clothing, from the intricate patterns on their kimonos to the delicate folds of their obi sashes, are beautifully rendered in vibrant colors, showcasing the masterful skill of Yoshitoshi and the artisans who produced these woodblock prints. The background is adorned with calligraphy, adding an elegant touch to the composition. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the late 19th century, a time of rapid modernization and change. The generals' traditional dress, despite the suspicion and distrust between them, serves as a reminder of the enduring importance of tradition in the face of new influences. This woodblock print is part of a larger series, which also includes Comic Pictures of Famous Places in Civilizing Tokyo, Twenty-four Accomplishments in Imperial Japan, and Twenty-four Hours in Shinbashi and Yanagibashi. Each print is a unique glimpse into the daily life, customs, and societal norms of Japan during the Meiji Period, making them invaluable historical and artistic treasures.
