EDITORS COMMENTS
Nikki Bennosuke with Umbrella," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the 1860s during the Edo period. This exquisite piece is taken from the series "Beauty and Valor in the Novel Suikoden." The print showcases Nikki Bennosuke, a character from the Suikoden novel, as he confronts a robber in a tense face-to-face encounter. Bennosuke is depicted wearing traditional Japanese attire, including a kimono, hakama, and geta. He holds a parasol in one hand, providing a striking contrast to the serious expression on his face. The parasol, a common accessory for both men and women during this era, not only served as a sunshade but also as a status symbol. The parasol in this print is adorned with intricate floral patterns, adding to the overall beauty and elegance of the composition. In the background, a carriage boot and a pair of boots are visible, hinting at the presence of a carriage or horse. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the calligraphy-like brushstrokes used to depict the folds of Bennosuke's kimono and hakama, as well as the delicate floral designs on his parasol. The print also features a grimacing robber, who appears to be startled by Bennosuke's sudden appearance. The contrast between the two figures, one of beauty and valor and the other of crime, adds depth and intrigue to the composition. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period and serves as a reminder of the captivating stories and characters that emerged from this era. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the timeless beauty and cultural significance of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's work.
