EDITORS COMMENTS
Prince Genji and To no Chujo Performing the Dance of the Blue Wave," a captivating woodblock print from the 1810s by the renowned artist Gakutei, showcases a dynamic scene from the classic Japanese literature "Genji Monogatari" or "The Tale of Genji." The print, part of the "Ten Romances for the Honcho Circle" series, depicts Prince Genji and his loyal retainer To no Chujo engaged in a lively performance of the "Gogaku" dance, the Blue Wave Dance. The full-length print is a stunning example of the color woodblock printing technique, with intricate details and vivid hues. The artists, Harunobu Sugawara and Yashima Sadaoka, expertly capture the essence of the story, as Genji and Chujo, dressed in formal attire and holding shields, execute graceful and synchronized movements. The use of black and blue colors adds depth and contrast to the image, while the calligraphy and lettering by Ryosa and Hikaru Genji provide an elegant and authentic touch. The scene is set in a serene outdoor location, with a backdrop of a tranquil landscape and a clear blue sky. The posture and facial expressions of the two men convey a sense of unity and camaraderie, as they immerse themselves in the performance. The print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Japan during the nineteenth century. The print is a beautiful representation of the "Genji Monogatari" story, which has had a profound influence on Japanese literature, art, and culture. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese history, literature, or art, and a reminder of the enduring legacy of Gakutei and the woodblock printing technique.
