The captivating woodblock print, "Ushiwakamaru (Minamoto no Yoshitsune) defeats Benkei in a game of sugoroku, c. 1825" transports viewers to the vibrant world of Edo-period Japan. Created by Totoya Hokkei, this artwork showcases the intense moment when Ushiwakamaru triumphs over his formidable opponent, Benkei Saito Musashibo. In this scene, Ushiwakamaru's clenched fist and determined expression reveal his unwavering focus on the board game before them. With colorful robes flowing around him, he exudes confidence and skill as he outmaneuvers Benkei. Meanwhile, frustration is etched across Benkei's face as he gestures with disbelief at his impending defeat. The intricate details of their attire and armor transport us back to a time when honor and tradition were deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. The print captures not only the intensity of their contest but also offers a glimpse into the leisurely pastimes enjoyed by people during that era. Through this artwork, Hokkei masterfully combines historical narrative with artistic prowess. His use of color brings vibrancy to every element within the composition while maintaining an overall sense of harmony and balance.
