EDITORS COMMENTS
Torii Kyoemon (or Yaemon) Katsutaga, a historic figure from the Meiji Era (1868-1912) of Japan, is depicted in this stunning woodblock print by the renowned artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. The print, titled "Torii Kyoemon (or Yaemon) Katsutaga Standing by a Moat," is part of the "Exploits of the Tokugawa Clan" series, created in the 1870s. The full-length portrait captures Kyoemon in a profile view, standing by the edge of a moat with a shocked expression on his face. He wears traditional Japanese clothing, including a mawashi (loincloth) and a taiso (short jacket), which were common attire during the Meiji Period. The intricate details of the clothing are beautifully rendered, showcasing the skillful use of color and block printing techniques. The background of the print features a group of people, some in shock and others shouting, adding to the dramatic effect of the scene. The calligraphy at the bottom of the print provides additional context, identifying the subject and the series. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Meiji Era and the artistic mastery of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. It is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the history and art of Japan.
