EDITORS COMMENTS
Gamo Sadahide's Servant, Toki Motosada, Hurling a Demon King to the Ground at Mount Inohana" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1890. This masterpiece is part of the series "New Forms of the Thirty-Six Ghosts," which showcases Yoshitoshi's innovative approach to traditional Japanese ghost stories. The print depicts Toki Motosada, a retainer of Gamo Sadahide, a daimyo (feudal lord) from the Kai Province during the Sixteenth Century. In this scene, Motosada is shown in heroic pose, grappling with a demon king atop Mount Inohana. Motosada's determined expression and powerful physique are accentuated by his vibrant, colorful attire, including a striking red kimono and armor. The demon king, with his grotesque features and terrifying expression, is being forcefully thrown to the ground by Motosada. The intense battle scene is set against the backdrop of the mountain landscape, adding to the dramatic effect of the print. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The intricately detailed block printing technique used to create the image showcases the skill and artistry of the craftsmen involved. The print's bold colors and dynamic composition make it a representative work of Yoshitoshi's oeuvre and a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art or the history of woodblock printing. Currently, this stunning piece is housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
