EDITORS COMMENTS
Kato Kazuenokami Kiyomasa Kneeling by a Banner," a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1878, is a striking representation of the historic figure Kato Kazuenokami Kiyomasa. This masterpiece is part of the series "A Mirror of Wisdom, Benevolence, and Valor in Japan," showcasing the rich heritage and history of Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The print depicts Kiyomasa, a powerful daimyo (feudal lord) of the 16th century, in a full-length, contemplative pose. He wears ornate armor, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant green color, symbolizing his high rank and military prowess. A large, red banner bearing his crest and the title "Higo no Kami" (Governor of Higo Province) is planted behind him. Kiyomasa holds a katana (Japanese sword) in his right hand, while his left hand rests on the hilt, as if in contemplation. The serene expression on his face and the tranquil setting of the print convey a sense of wisdom, benevolence, and valor, reflecting the virtues of the series' title. The intricate details of the print, from the calligraphy on the banner to the textures of the armor, are masterfully executed through the traditional color woodblock printing technique. This beautiful work of art not only serves as a historical record of Kato Kazuenokami Kiyomasa but also as a testament to the artistic brilliance of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi during the late 19th century. This print is now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's (LACMA) extensive collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistic mastery of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.
