EDITORS COMMENTS
Funada Nyudo Yoshimasa and Sachujo Nitta Yoshisada in Midair" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1886. This print is part of Yoshitoshi's esteemed series, "Warriors Trembling with Courage." The scene depicted in the print is based on an event from the 14th century, during which Nitta Yoshisada, a prominent samurai lord, led his troops to escape from their enemies by constructing a floating bridge over a swollen river. In the print, we witness a pivotal moment during this daring escape. Nitta Yoshisada, in full armor, is shown holding his senior vassal, Funada Nyudo Yoshimasa, as they leap from the broken rope bridge towards the opposite shore. Their faces are etched with determination and focus, reflecting the unwavering courage and loyalty of these warriors in the face of danger. The woodblock print showcases intricate details, with the rippling water, the textured armor, and the dynamic poses of the two figures. The use of color adds depth and intensity to the scene, while the calligraphy adds a traditional touch to the composition. This historic moment in Japanese history is brought to life through Yoshitoshi's masterful artistry, providing a glimpse into the past and the valor of the samurai era. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its art. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) houses this remarkable piece in its collection, making it accessible for all to appreciate and learn from the stories it tells. This woodblock print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, history, or the human spirit.
