EDITORS COMMENTS
Tokugawa Tsunayoshi Visiting Nikko Shrine, 1875" is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, depicting the last shogun of the Tokugawa shogunate, Tsunayoshi, on a pilgrimage to Nikko Toshogu Shrine in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. This print is part of the series "Brief Account of the Rulers of the Tokugawa Clan," which showcases the historical figures of the Tokugawa Dynasty. The image captures Tsunayoshi, dressed in formal attire of the Meiji Era, with a solemn expression as he pays homage at the shrine. He is accompanied by several male attendants, all dressed in black, who hold umbrellas and fans to shield him from the sun. The vibrant green color of the shrine's buildings and the intricate details of the columns and pillars are beautifully rendered in the print. Tsunayoshi's cloak, which is adorned with calligraphy, adds to the grandeur of the scene. The artist's masterful use of color and detail is evident in the way the fabric of the cloak flows and the way the light reflects off the water in the foreground. The print also features a sense of movement, with the attendants and Tsunayoshi himself in motion, creating a dynamic and engaging composition. The significance of this print lies in its portrayal of the last shogun's pilgrimage to Nikko Toshogu Shrine, which was an important religious and cultural site during the Tokugawa Period. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and heritage of Japan and the importance of Shintoism in Japanese culture. This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art and a testament to the artistic mastery of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.
