EDITORS COMMENTS
In a Fit of Jealousy: Arai Tokichi Hurls a Rock at Ohana" is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, created during the Meiji Era in the late 1870s. This powerful and evocative image is a poignant depiction of domestic abuse and the destructive nature of jealousy. The print features two figures, Arai Tokichi and Ohana, standing on a mountainside. Tokichi, a man consumed by jealousy, is shown in a fit of rage, lifting his foot and hurling a rock towards Ohana, who is in the process of escaping from him. The intensity of the moment is palpable, with Ohana's kimono billowing in the wind as she jumps away from the oncoming projectile. The use of color in the print is masterful, with the vibrant red and purple hues of Tokichi's clothing and the muted tones of the mountainside creating a striking contrast. The intricate details of the traditional Japanese clothing and the calligraphic elements of the print add to its artistic merit, making it a prime example of the Ukiyo-e style. This woodblock print is a poignant reminder of the realities of life during the Meiji Era in Japan, and the destructive nature of jealousy and abuse. It is a powerful work of art that continues to resonate with viewers today, and is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian or Heritage Art. This print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Japan during the Meiji Period.
