EDITORS COMMENTS
Goro Tokimune and Juro Sukenari on Horseback," a captivating woodblock print from the Illustrated Tale of the Soga Brothers series created by Ando Hiroshige between 1843 and 1847, presents a striking image of two legendary samurai brothers on horseback. The print, a masterpiece of the Edo period in Japan, showcases the artistic prowess of Hiroshige, a renowned ukiyo-e artist of the time. The scene is set against a backdrop of lush greenery, with the brothers, Goro Tokimune and Juro Sukenari, riding their horses through a serene landscape. The brothers, dressed in traditional samurai attire, are depicted with an air of determination and resolve. Goro Tokimune, the elder brother, rides a white horse, while Juro Sukenari, the younger brother, is on a black horse. Their expressions are focused, their posture confident, and their horses gallop with an energy that exudes strength and power. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its enduring literary traditions. The Soga Brothers are legendary figures from Japanese literature, known for their acts of revenge and loyalty. This print, with its intricate details and vivid colors, brings the epic tale to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. The print is a prime example of Hiroshige's skill in the art of color woodblock printing. The use of color is masterful, with each hue adding depth and dimension to the scene. The calligraphic elements of the print, which include the title and artist's signature, add a sense of elegance and refinement to the composition. This print is a must-see for anyone with an interest in Asian art, particularly in the works of Ando Hiroshige. It is a rare and beautiful example of the artistic school of ukiyo-e, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
