EDITORS COMMENTS
Kibi Daijin Seated at a Chinese Table," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the late 1880s during the Meiji Era of Japan. This masterpiece is part of the collection "Twenty-four Accomplishments in Imperial Japan." The image portrays Kibi Daijin, also known as Kibi no Makibi or Kibi no Asomi Makibi, a prominent figure from the Nara Period (710-794 AD). Kibi Daijin is depicted in a contemplative posture, seated at a Chinese-style table adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors. He wears the traditional Japanese kimono, accessorized with a magnolia flower in his lapel and a pelt draped over his shoulders. His long, flowing beard and black beard contrast sharply with his red clothing, adding depth and texture to the print. The table is laden with various objects, including a calligraphy brush and inkstone, symbolizing Kibi Daijin's scholarly pursuits and education. A magnolia branch and a few flowers add a touch of nature to the scene, while the background is filled with a serene landscape. The intricate details of the print are a testament to Yoshitoshi's exceptional skill as a woodblock printer. The use of color woodblock printing, a late impression technique, adds depth and dimension to the artwork, making it a stunning representation of the fusion of Chinese and Japanese influences during the Meiji Era. This print is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the rich history and cultural significance of Japan during the Meiji Period. It is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
