EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Eto Shinpei, 1887" by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, offers a glimpse into the life of a prominent Meiji Era (1868-1912) statesman and politician, Eto Shinpei. The print is part of Yoshitoshi's series "Lives of Modern People," which showcased the lives and stories of contemporary figures. Eto Shinpei is depicted standing in a serene garden setting, surrounded by nature's beauty. He wears a traditional kimono, accessorized with a fan and a pair of geta sandals. In his other hand, he holds a carriage boot, possibly a symbol of his political power and status. The intricately patterned boot, featuring orchids and other floral motifs, is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of the Meiji Period. The print is further enhanced by the use of color and lighting. The warm, earthy tones of the kimono and the cool, calming blues and greens of the garden create a harmonious contrast. The lantern and the calligraphy on the fan add to the overall elegance and sophistication of the scene. The background, with its depiction of the Saga Rebellion, a significant political event during the Meiji Era, underscores the importance and relevance of Eto Shinpei's role in Japanese history. The print serves as a fascinating window into the fashion, politics, and culture of the late 19th century Japan. This stunning work of art is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its historical and artistic significance. The print invites us to explore the rich heritage of Japanese art and the lives of its people during a pivotal time in their history.
