EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Nichiren and the Levitating Rock at Mount Komuro on the 28th Day of the Fifth Month of 1274" by Utagawa Kuniyoshi depicts a dramatic scene filled with mysticism and conflict. In this vibrant woodblock print, two monks stand fearlessly before two warriors, their eyes locked in a battle of wills. Suspended above them is an enormous rock defying gravity, adding an element of magic to the composition. The artist skillfully captures the intensity of this moment, showcasing his mastery over color and form. The rich hues bring life to every detail - from the monks' flowing robes to the warriors' fierce expressions. This artwork transports viewers into a world where spirituality intertwines with martial prowess. Published by Iseya Rihei under Kuniyoshi's signature "Ichiy?sai Kuniyoshi ga" this print is part of a series called "Sketches of the Life of Great Priest".
