Fuwa Bansaku and the Monster
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in the 1860s. This masterpiece is taken from his collection "One Hundred Ghost Tales from China and Japan," a series that showcases various supernatural stories from both China and Japan. In this print, we see the figure of Fuwa Bansaku, a man dressed in traditional Edo Period attire, including a kimono, geta, and parasol. He is shown standing on top of a carriage boot, which is adorned with intricate patterns and colorful designs, as if it were a supernatural entity itself. The monster, a phantom with multiple arms and menacing features, looms above Fuwa Bansaku, ready to strike. The scene is set outdoors, with the exterior of a building and trees in the background, adding to the sense of mystery and otherworldliness. Fuwa Bansaku's expression is one of determination and resolve, as he faces the monster with a samurai-like stance. The use of calligraphy in the print adds to the overall aesthetic, with the artist's signature and title of the print, "Hyaku Monogatari," visible at the bottom. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo Period, with its intricate details and vivid colors. It also highlights the concept of the afterlife and the role of ghosts and phantoms in Japanese folklore. The print is now a part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to captivate and inspire viewers with its unique blend of art, literature, and supernatural elements.
