EDITORS COMMENTS
Miyamoto Hanako Chastening a Drunkard," a captivating woodblock print from the Meiji Era (1868-1912) of Japan, created by the renowned artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1875, is a poignant depiction of daily life during this period. Part of the "The Postal News" series, number 425, this print showcases the contrasting elements of societal norms and the struggles of an individual succumbing to alcoholism. The image features a stern-faced Miyamoto Hanako, a well-known character from Japanese folklore, as she scolds a drunken man, who is depicted with disheveled clothing and a distorted posture. The man, wearing only a loincloth and boots, is shown kneeling in submission, with onlookers gathered around, some in traditional Japanese attire, including kimonos and geta sandals, while others wear Western-style clothing and boots. The vibrant green color palette adds depth and dimension to the scene, with the rich hues of the clothing, the lush greenery in the background, and the intricate calligraphy adorning the borders. The print's full-length format allows for a detailed examination of the various elements, from the intricate patterns on the clothing to the textures of the boots and the carriage boot. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Meiji Era, providing a glimpse into the daily life and societal norms of the time. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of this work.
