EDITORS COMMENTS
Kozo Kiritaro, Young Priest of the Tengus" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in the 1860s. This masterpiece is a part of the series "Beauty and Valor in the Novel Suikoden," showcasing the rich heritage and intricacies of Japanese art and literature. The print depicts a young priest named Kozo Kiritaro, standing proudly with a determined expression on his face. He is clad in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a flowing kimono with intricate patterns and a sash tied around his waist. His feet are adorned with geta sandals and carriage boots, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The mythical creature behind Kozo Kiritaro is a Tengu, a goblin-like being from Japanese mythology, known for its supernatural powers and ability to assume various forms. Tengus are often depicted with wings, a beak, and the face of a human or monkey. In this print, the Tengu is shown in a more humanoid form, with a serene expression, looking back at Kozo Kiritaro. The intricate details of the print are evident in the delicate calligraphy that adorns the borders, the bold lines used to depict the figures, and the vibrant colors used to bring the scene to life. The use of woodblock printing techniques adds to the texture and depth of the image, making it a true work of art. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period and the influence of mythology on its art and literature. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, history, or mythology, and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) for all to appreciate and enjoy. Kozo Kiritaro's strong stance, the Tengu's mythical presence, and the intricate details of the print make it a fascinating piece that invites the viewer to explore the depths of Japanese mythology and the beauty of its artistic traditions.
