Hino Kumawaka Leaping from Bamboo,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, depicts a legendary figure from Japanese folklore and history, Hino Kumawaka, also known as Hino Kumawakamaru or Hino Kunimitsu. This masterpiece is taken from the series "A Mirror of Wisdom, Benevolence and Valor in Japan," created during the Meiji Era in the late 19th century. The print portrays Hino Kumawaka, a legendary counsellor from the 14th century, in a dynamic and dramatic pose as he leaps gracefully from a bamboo branch. The artist expertly captures the essence of the moment, with the man's determined expression and the fluidity of his movement. The intricate details of the bamboo branch, the texture of the man's robe, and the delicate calligraphy that adorns the borders of the print, all contribute to the overall beauty and depth of the artwork. The use of vibrant colors and bold lines adds to the energy and excitement of the scene, while the natural setting of the bamboo forest serves as a reminder of the connection between the human experience and the natural world. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring legacy of its legendary figures. Hino Kumawaka's story is one of wisdom, valor, and benevolence, making this print an important piece of both historical and artistic significance. It is a reminder of the power of storytelling through art and the enduring impact of Japanese culture on the world. This stunning work of art is now a part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
