EDITORS COMMENTS
Torii Suneemon Katsutaka, 1868: A Moment of Defiance and Determination This woodblock print, titled 'Torii Suneemon Katsutaka,' is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, created in the 1860s during the nineteenth century. The print is part of the series 'Eight Views with Fine Tales of Warriors.' The image portrays a solitary figure, Torii Suneemon Katsutaka, standing on a narrow rope bridge over a turbulent river. The bridge, a traditional Japanese geographical feature, symbolizes the transition from one world to another. Suneemon, dressed in a mawashi (loincloth), holds a bell in one hand and a sword in the other, ready for battle. A bird perched on his shoulder seems to be flying away, perhaps symbolizing freedom or escape. Suneemon's intense gaze is fixed on the background, where we see Katsuyori Takeda, a legendary warrior from the sixteenth century, pursuing him relentlessly. Suneemon's expression conveys a sense of loyalty, determination, and defiance, as he refuses to give in to his pursuer. The intricate details of the print, from the calligraphy to the background people, showcase the exceptional skill and artistry of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. The use of color and tone adds depth and emotion to the scene, transporting us to a different time and place. This print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and provides a glimpse into the country's history and cultural traditions. It is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
