EDITORS COMMENTS
Karukaya Doshin Refusing to Recognize Ishidomaru" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1881. This masterpiece is part of his esteemed series "Twenty-four Accomplishments in Imperial Japan." The print depicts a poignant moment in the lives of two boys, Karukaya Doshin and Ishidomaru Kato, during the Meiji Era (1868-1912) in Japan. The image showcases Karukaya Doshin, a young boy dressed in a magnificent kimono, standing firmly with a determined expression on his face. He clutches a maple leaf in his hand, symbolizing the changing of the seasons and the transience of life. Behind him, his father, Kato Sayemon Shigeuji, sits on a carriage boot, dressed in a traditional daimyo (feudal lord) outfit. In the foreground, Ishidomaru, another boy, falls to the ground, his face contorted in a pleading expression. He wears a simple kimono and holds out a boot, possibly a geta (traditional Japanese sandal), as an offering. Karukaya Doshin, however, refuses to acknowledge him, turning his back and denying him recognition. The intricate details of the woodblock print are a testament to Yoshitoshi's mastery of the traditional Japanese art form. The use of color and the depiction of autumn leaves add to the overall beauty and significance of the image. The print serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of human relationships and the importance of family heritage during the Meiji Period in Japan. This work of art is now part of the permanent collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), providing a glimpse into the rich history and cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century.
