EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic artwork "Empress Jingu and Her Minister Takenouchi no Sukune" by renowned Japanese artist Hokusai. Created between 1801-1802, this exquisite colour woodcut transports us to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. In this masterpiece, we witness Empress Jingu and her trusted minister in a moment frozen in time. The composition beautifully captures their dignified presence as they stand outdoors, surrounded by nature's serene beauty. The Empress, portrayed with grace and elegance, exudes power and authority befitting her royal status. Beside her stands Minister Takenouchi no Sukune, an old samurai whose wisdom is evident in his weathered face. The image evokes a sense of high society and political intrigue that defined this era. The bow held by the Empress symbolizes strength and determination while hinting at the potential for conflict or defense. Meanwhile, arrows scattered around them serve as reminders of their warrior heritage. Hokusai's mastery shines through every brushstroke, showcasing his skillful use of colours within the ukiyo-e art movement. This print not only immortalizes these historical figures but also reflects Hokusai's ability to capture both physical likeness and emotional depth. Displayed at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford, UK, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure. As we gaze upon it today, we are transported back to a fascinating period in Japanese history where politics intertwined with tradition and power resided within those who commanded respect like Empress Jingu and Minister Takenouchi no Sukune
