EDITORS COMMENTS
Taira no Koremochi Slashing at a Demon," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the Meiji Era of the late 19th century. Part of his esteemed series "A Mirror of Great Warriors of Japan," this full-length print showcases the legendary Taira no Koremochi, an aristocrat and warrior from ancient Japan, in a pivotal moment from a popular folk tale. Dressed in the traditional attire of the time, Koremochi wears a vibrant kimono with intricate patterns, accessorized by a hakama, a formal skirt-like garment. His expression is intense as he focuses on the demon before him, his sword raised high, ready to strike. The demon, with its hideous features and leering grin, is depicted in contrasting colors, its body adorned with maple leaves and other natural elements, symbolizing the changing seasons and the passage of time. The background of the print is dominated by the stunning landscape of Mount Togakushi, a significant geographical feature in Japanese folklore. The lush greenery of the mountains and the maple leaves scattered throughout the scene add a sense of depth and natural beauty to the print. This color woodblock print, with its rich colors and intricate details, is a testament to the artistic heritage of Japan during the Meiji Period. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), a renowned institution dedicated to preserving and showcasing the world's artistic treasures. The print's vivid colors and dynamic composition transport the viewer to a time long past, offering a glimpse into the rich history and cultural traditions of Japan.
