Kodembo no Shoshichi, an Osaka Thief, Tormented by Ghosts,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1875. This masterpiece, a part of the Meiji Era (1868-1912) in Japan, is a poignant illustration of the afterlife consequences of a criminal's actions. The print depicts Kodembo no Shoshichi, an infamous thief from Osaka, being haunted by a group of phantoms. The thief, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, is shown wearing a kimono with a coat and a wide-brimmed hat, his face contorted in torment and regret. The background is filled with a chaotic scene of ghosts, their faces expressing various emotions - anger, sadness, and fear. The use of color is masterful, with the predominantly dark tones adding to the overall eerie atmosphere. The print is a powerful commentary on the concept of conscience and the consequences of one's actions. In Japanese culture, the afterlife was believed to be a continuation of one's earthly life, and the dead were believed to be judged based on their deeds in life. This belief is reflected in the print, with Shoshichi being tormented by the ghosts of his victims. The print is a significant piece of Asian art and heritage, showcasing the intricate details of traditional Japanese apparel and the unique style of woodblock printing. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Japan during the Meiji Era. Today, this print can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, a testament to its historical and artistic significance.
