EDITORS COMMENTS
Namikiri Juzaboro with Drawn Sword," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, depicts the legendary bandit Namikiri Juzaboro in a full-length, back view pose, with his sword drawn and ready. Dating back to the Meiji Era of the 19th century, this print is a part of Yoshitoshi's series titled "Biographies of Fine Modern Men." The image showcases the bandit in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a blue kimono with intricate calligraphy designs, and his hair styled in the Taiso fashion. Juzaboro stands with his legs apart, preparing for battle, his sword held firmly in his right hand and the left hand resting on the hilt. The print's composition emphasizes balance and the concept of readiness, as Juzaboro's stance and the position of the sword suggest a moment of tension before action. The print's rich colors and detailed woodblock printing technique bring the historic figure to life, transporting the viewer to the Meiji Period in Japan. The image is a testament to the artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its traditional clothing and customs. This print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and culture of Asia. Namikiri Juzaboro was a notorious bandit known for his cunning and strength during the late Edo Period. Despite his criminal activities, he gained a certain level of respect and even admiration from the people due to his skill and bravery. This print immortalizes his legend and serves as a reminder of the complexities and contradictions of Japanese history. Overall, "Namikiri Juzaboro with Drawn Sword" is a stunning example of the Ukiyo-e art tradition and a valuable addition to any collection of Asian or historical art.
