Fire in the Lamp Stand
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, created in the 12th month of the year 1878. This masterpiece is part of Yoshitoshi's series "Allusions to the Seven Planets," which draws inspiration from traditional Japanese folklore and astronomy. The print depicts a solitary woman, dressed in a stunning kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, standing inside a dimly lit room. The focal point of the composition is a traditional Japanese lamp stand, which has inexplicably caught fire. The woman gazes intently at the fire, her expression a mixture of curiosity and concern. The muted colors of the room and the woman's apparel contrast sharply with the fiery red hue of the flames, creating a striking visual effect. The print is a testament to the artistic mastery of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, who expertly employs the traditional woodblock printing technique to bring the scene to life. The meticulous attention to detail in the woman's clothing, the patterns on the tatami mat floor, and the calligraphy-like brushstrokes used to depict the flames all contribute to the overall beauty and sophistication of the piece. This print is a valuable artifact from the Meiji Era (1868-1912) of Japan, a time of significant cultural and artistic innovation. It is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved and displayed for the enjoyment and education of the public. "Fire in the Lamp Stand" is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of traditional Asian art.
