EDITORS COMMENTS
Tokugawa Yoshimune Playing Kemari," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, showcases a serene moment in the history of the Tokugawa Clan. This print is part of Yoshitoshi's series "Brief Account of the Rulers of the Tokugawa Clan," and was created in the 1870s during the Meiji Era. The image depicts the 7th Tokugawa Shogun, Tokugawa Yoshimune, engaged in the traditional Japanese court game of Kemari, accompanied by his teacher, Asukai Masanori, and an unidentified boy. The print captures the essence of the Edo Bakufu period with its intricate details and vibrant colors. Yoshimune is depicted in a full-length portrait, wearing the formal attire of the time, including a flowing kimono and a wide-brimmed hat. His posture is relaxed, and his gaze is fixed on the ball as he prepares to kick it in the air. Masanori, dressed in a similar fashion, stands behind Yoshimune, offering guidance and encouragement. The third figure, a young boy, looks up at the scene with curiosity and admiration. The background of the print is adorned with lush greenery, adding to the tranquil atmosphere of the scene. The intricate patterns on the kimonos and the calligraphy on the scroll in the foreground add to the artistic detail of the print. The use of color is masterful, with the green color dominating the scene, representing the natural beauty of Japan and the freshness of the moment. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the importance of tradition in the lives of its people. It is a beautiful representation of the past, capturing a moment in time that has been preserved for future generations to appreciate and learn from.
