EDITORS COMMENTS
Sangoku Taro Kneeling before Demon and Warrior," a captivating woodblock print from the Meiji Era (1868-1912) of Japan, created by the renowned artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1866. This stunning full-length print is part of the "Beauty and Valor in the Novel Suikoden" series, showcasing the rich heritage and artistry of the 19th century. The print depicts the legendary character Sangoku Taro, a fearless and noble samurai, kneeling before two formidable figures - a demon and a warrior. The demon, with his menacing features and glowing red eyes, looms over Sangoku Taro, while the warrior, with his sword held high, stands guard. Sangoku Taro, dressed in a beautiful, patterned kimono, holds up a lantern, illuminating the night scene with a soft, yellow glow. The intricate design of the print is evident in the detailed apparel and accessories worn by the characters. The demon's floral and colorful attire contrasts sharply with the more traditional and muted colors of Sangoku Taro's kimono, adding to the visual impact of the print. The use of calligraphy and block printing techniques further enhances the artwork's beauty and historic significance. The setting of the print is not explicitly stated, but the time of day and the use of lanterns suggest that the scene takes place at night. The location could be a mythical or legendary place, adding to the intrigue and mystery of the print. This woodblock print is a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of Japan during the Meiji Era and is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, history, or literature, particularly those with connections to the Suikoden novel. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's work.
