EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 10: Ushiwaka Defeats Sekigahara Yoichi at Keage Mountain Pass" is a stunning color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1832 and 1834. This work is part of Hiroshige's series, "The Life of Yoshitsune," which showcases the legendary exploits of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a 12th-century samurai known for his military prowess and tragic life. The print depicts the famous encounter between Yoshitsune and Sekigahara Yoichi at the Keage Mountain Pass. According to the legend, Yoshitsune, disguised as a woman, was traveling with his companions when they were ambushed by Sekigahara Yoichi, a skilled archer. In this print, we see Yoshitsune, dressed as a man, standing triumphantly over the defeated Sekigahara Yoichi, who lies on the ground with his bow and arrow broken. The mountainous landscape, with its vibrant autumn colors and cascading waterfall, serves as the backdrop for this epic battle. The intricate details of the print, from the textured clothing and facial expressions to the natural phenomena and geographical features, are a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides the title and artist's name, while the oban size of the print adds to its grandeur. This work is a significant contribution to the artistic legacy of the Edo period and continues to captivate viewers with its vivid colors, dynamic composition, and compelling storytelling. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this magnificent print in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and rich history of Japanese art.
