Kiyohime, Emerging from the Hidaka River, Turning into a Serpent,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1865. This masterpiece is a part of the series "One Hundred Ghost Tales from China and Japan," which showcases various supernatural stories from both countries. The print depicts the legendary figure of Kiyohime, a vengeful woman from Japanese folklore. The story goes that Kiyohime, once a beautiful woman in love with a priest named Okina, was rejected and driven away in anger. In her fury, she transformed herself into a serpent and took revenge by causing a flood in the Hidaka River, drowning all the villagers. In the print, Kiyohime is shown emerging from the river, her body half-human and half-serpent. She wears traditional Japanese clothing, including a kimono and obi, which are now in disarray as she transforms. Her bare feet, once adorned with intricate sandals, are now clawed and scaly. Her eyes are filled with rage, and her mouth is open in a hiss. The print is a stunning example of ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese art form that flourished during the Edo and Tokugawa periods. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making Kiyohime's transformation all the more striking. The print also showcases the rich geographical and cultural heritage of Japan, with the Hidaka River serving as a backdrop to the story. The print is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate audiences and inspire appreciation for the rich artistic traditions of Asia. Overall, "Kiyohime, Emerging from the Hidaka River, Turning into a Serpent," is a powerful and evocative work of art that showcases the beauty and complexity of Japanese folklore and the skill of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi as a master woodblock printmaker.
