EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wrestler Konjin Chogoro Throwing a Devil," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the 1860s during the Tokugawa period in Japan. This masterpiece is part of the "Beauty and Valor in the Novel Suikoden" series, showcasing the strength and heroism of the characters from the popular literary work. The image depicts the sumo wrestler Konjin Chogoro in a dynamic and powerful pose, as he hurls a demon or devil over his shoulder. The wrestler wears a traditional mawashi, a loincloth, adorned with intricate floral designs and vibrant colors. The demon, with its menacing features and sharp claws, contrasts the beauty and grace of the wrestler's attire. The background is a simple blue, allowing the figures to stand out and the details of their clothing to be the focus. The print is characterized by the meticulous attention to detail, as evidenced by the fine lines and delicate brushwork. The calligraphy at the bottom of the print adds an elegant touch, providing context to the scene. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, showcasing the beauty and strength of its people, as well as the mythical elements that were an integral part of their literature and folklore. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is fortunate to have this magnificent piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi and the Ukiyo-e tradition.
