EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the artwork "Shoki and Demon" from the Edo period, circa 1850. Created by Kuniyoshi Utagawa, a renowned Japanese artist of that era, this colour woodblock print measures 36.1 x 24.6 cm and is currently housed in the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image depicts an intense scene from religious mythology, featuring Shoki, a prominent figure in both Buddhism and Shintoism. Known as a deity with immense power to ward off evil spirits and demons, Shoki stands tall with his sword drawn against a fearsome demon before him. With intricate details brought to life through ink and vibrant colours on paper, this woodblock print exemplifies Kuniyoshi's mastery of his craft. The composition exudes energy as it captures the moment when good triumphs over evil within Japanese folklore. Part of The Anne van Biema Collection at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, this artwork represents an important cultural heritage piece that sheds light on Japan's rich mythological traditions. As it falls under public domain due to its age, this image can be appreciated freely without any commercial implications. Immerse yourself in this mesmerizing depiction of divine intervention and explore the profound symbolism embedded within Japanese religious beliefs through this remarkable masterpiece by Kuniyoshi Utagawa.
