EDITORS COMMENTS
Shutendoji Surrounded by Women," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the 1860s during the Tokugawa period in Japan. This masterpiece is part of the One Hundred Ghost Tales from China and Japan series, a collection of mythological and supernatural stories that were popular forms of entertainment during the Edo period. The print depicts the legendary figure of Shutendoji, a monk known for his ability to vanquish demons and protect the innocent. In this image, Shutendoji is shown lying down, surrounded by a group of young women. Their expressions range from curiosity to amusement, as they seem to be pulling him back into the world of the living. The women's vibrant attire and playful poses add a sense of lightness and levity to the scene, contrasting with the more ominous implications of the ghost tales from which this print originates. The intricate details of the print are brought to life through the use of color woodblock printing. The predominantly blue and yellow color palette creates a serene and otherworldly atmosphere, while the calligraphy adds a touch of elegance and authenticity. The print's border is adorned with intricate patterns and designs, further emphasizing the rich cultural heritage of Japanese art. This stunning work of art is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world. The print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of storytelling and the beauty of traditional Japanese art.
