Mutsuki Suginosuke Norifusa with a Ghost
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1867. This striking image is taken from the series "Beauty and Valor in the Novel Suikoden," which showcases various scenes from the popular literary work of the same name. The print depicts an elderly samurai, Mutsuki Suginosuke Norifusa, clad in traditional Japanese apparel, including a flowing kimono and a formal hat. His posture is one of deep reflection, with his hands pressed together in prayer. The serene expression on his face is contrasted by the eerie presence of a ghostly figure lurking behind him. The ghost, with its long flowing robes and translucent features, is partially hidden behind a rock, as if watching the old man intently. The use of color in this print is masterful, with the muted tones of the samurai's clothing and the vibrant colors of the ghost's attire creating a striking contrast. The intricate details of the clothing and the calligraphy in the background add to the overall beauty and intrigue of the piece. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868) and the Tokugawa era (1603-1868). It is a reminder of the interplay between the realms of the living and the dead, and the belief in the existence of phantoms and other supernatural beings. The print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), adding to its historical significance and making it accessible for future generations to appreciate the artistry and mythology of Japan's past.
