EDITORS COMMENTS
Ushiwakamaru at Gojo Bridge, 1882" is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, showcasing the legendary figure Ushiwakamaru, also known as Minamoto no Yoshitsune, standing on Gojo Bridge over the Kamo River in Kyoto, Japan. The print is a part of Yoshitoshi's series "Sketches by Yoshitoshi," created during the Meiji Era (1868-1912) in the late 19th century. The image depicts Ushiwakamaru, a Minamoto clan member, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, including a hakama and a kimono. The back view of his figure reveals the intricate design and vibrant colors of his attire. He is shown balancing on the bridge with one hand holding a fan and the other hand dropped in a casual gesture. The full moon illuminates the night scene, casting a soft glow on the bridge and the tranquil waters of the Kamo River. The print showcases the rich heritage and folklore of Japan, with the legendary figure Ushiwakamaru being a popular character in Japanese literature and folklore. The Gojo Bridge, a geographical feature in Kyoto, adds to the authenticity and historical significance of the print. The intricate details of the woodblock print, from the calligraphy to the astronomy symbols, demonstrate the skill and artistry of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. This print is a testament to the beauty and depth of Japanese art and culture during the Meiji Era, and is now preserved and displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), allowing future generations to appreciate the rich history and artistic legacy of Japan.
