EDITORS COMMENTS
Hino Kumawakamaru and the Priest Calling Back the Boat," a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1885, showcases a pivotal moment in the legend of Hino Kunimitsu, also known as Hino Kumawakamaru. The print is part of Yoshitoshi's collection "Warriors Trembling with Courage." In the image, a young boy, Hino Kunimitsu, stands on the rocky shore of Sado Island, his hakama (trousers worn with a kimono) billowing in the wind. With determination in his eyes and arms raised, he calls out to a departing boat, urging it to stop. The boy's desperate plea for escape from the enemy is palpable in his posture and gestures. Behind the boy, a monk, dressed in traditional robes and holding a prayer beads, also gestures towards the boat. His calm and authoritative presence adds a layer of intrigue to the scene, suggesting the deeper involvement of the religious community in the boy's quest for vengeance. The print, created during the Meiji Era (1868-1912), is a stunning example of the colorful and intricate woodblock printing techniques that characterized the 19th century in Japan. The use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and dynamic composition create a powerful visual narrative that transports the viewer to the shores of Sado Island during a pivotal moment in Japanese history. This print, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the rich artistic and cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring legacy of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi as a master of ukiyo-e (floating world) art.
