EDITORS COMMENTS
Tokugawa Ietsuga Playing at Archery," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, showcases a leisurely moment in the life of the Tokugawa shogun during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The image, created in the 1870s, depicts Ietsuga (1838-1858) and four companions engaging in a friendly archery session indoors. Ietsuga, dressed in the traditional Tokugawa shogunal attire, is focused intently on his target, a deer hide, while his attendants, Nabematsu and two boys, look on with a mix of admiration and mischief. The artist masterfully captures the tension of the moment, as Ietsuga's expression reveals his determination, while the boys' faces display a sense of amusement and anticipation. The intricately designed kimonos and clothing worn by the figures are a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during this period. The vibrant red and other colors used in the print add depth and contrast, making the scene come alive. The archery session takes place inside, with a folding screen in the background, providing a sense of intimacy and exclusivity to the scene. This woodblock print, "Tokugawa Ietsuga Playing at Archery," is an excellent example of the Ukiyo-e art style, which flourished in Japan from the 17th to the late 19th century. The print, now part of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art's collection, offers a glimpse into the history and traditions of Japan during the Tokugawa Dynasty and the Meiji Period.
