EDITORS COMMENTS
Ban Danemon Naoyuki Conquers the Old Raccoon Dog at Fukushima's Mansion, 1866 (image 2 of 2)" is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, created in the 1860s during the Meiji Era. This oban format triptych tells a haunting tale from Japanese literature, based on the popular ghost story "The Old Raccoon Dog." In the center panel, we see Ban Danemon Naoyuki, a samurai warrior, standing triumphantly over an old raccoon dog, his weapon raised in victory. The raccoon dog, known as a symbol of misfortune and bad luck in Japanese folklore, is depicted as a phantom, its ghostly form glowing with a turquoise aura. The background shows the grand mansion of Fukushima, its once-majestic buildings now in ruins, reflecting the passage of time and the supernatural events that have transpired. The left and right panels of the triptych depict the events leading up to this moment. On the left, Ban Danemon Naoyuki is seen kneeling in front of the mansion, his expression one of determination and resolve. On the right, the raccoon dog appears as a terrifying apparition, its eyes glowing with a malevolent light, as it prepares to attack the unsuspecting warrior. This haunting woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the power of storytelling through art. The use of vibrant colors and intricate woodcut techniques adds to the overall effect, making this a truly spooky and captivating piece that transports us to another time and place. Today, this masterpiece is preserved and displayed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and significance of Japanese art from the 19th century.
