EDITORS COMMENTS
Satomi Jirotaro Yoshinari Inspecting a Head Carried by a Dog" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1867. This masterpiece is part of the series "Beauty and Valor in the Novel Suikoden," which showcases scenes from the popular Japanese novel "Suikoden." The print depicts Satomi Jirotaro Yoshinari, a man of great stature, bending forward in a full-length pose. He is dressed in ornate armor, his expression serious as he examines a decapitated head carried by a loyal dog. The head, with its blue-tinged complexion, is placed on a wooden stand, and the scene is illuminated by the soft glow of a lantern. The intricate details of the print are a testament to Yoshitoshi's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The use of color is minimal but effective, with the predominantly brown and blue tones adding to the somber and historic atmosphere. The background is filled with calligraphy, adding an element of literature and learning to the scene. The print is a powerful representation of the Meiji Era (1868-1912) in Japan, a time of great change and upheaval. The image of a man inspecting a decapitated head carried by a dog may be gory and disturbing to some, but it is also a reminder of the historical and legendary significance of the events depicted in the Suikoden novel. This woodblock print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a testament to its cultural and artistic importance. It is a reminder of the rich heritage of Japanese art and the enduring legacy of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi as a master of the ukiyo-e tradition.
