EDITORS COMMENTS
Bai Sheng (Hakujisso Hakusho), from the series 'One Hundred and Eight Heroes of the Popular Water Margin', is a captivating woodblock print created by Utagawa Kuniyoshi during the Edo period in 19th century Japan. This vibrant artwork showcases Kuniyoshi's mastery of color and composition, as well as his ability to depict dynamic scenes filled with action and emotion. In this particular print, Bai Sheng, a character from the Chinese novel 'Water Margin', is depicted with an arm raised in a powerful gesture. Dressed in blue and brown attire, he exudes strength and determination. The use of bold colors adds intensity to the scene, while the intricate details highlight Kuniyoshi's artistic skill. The cartouche surrounding Bai Sheng further emphasizes his importance within the series. Each hero represented in 'One Hundred and Eight Heroes of the Popular Water Margin' possesses unique qualities that make them stand out among others. Bai Sheng represents disruption and rebellion against authority, making him an outlaw figure admired for his courage. This woodblock print not only captures a moment in time but also reflects historical themes prevalent during both Japanese Edo period and Chinese Song dynasty. It serves as a testament to Kuniyoshi's contribution to ukiyo-e art - a genre known for its depiction of everyday life - by infusing it with elements of violence, literature, and heritage. Displayed at The Art Institute Chicago gallery, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its striking imagery and cultural significance.
