EDITORS COMMENTS
Hojo Tokiyori, a Regent of the Kamakura Period (1226-1333), is depicted in this stunning color woodblock print from the series "Twenty-four Generals for the Katsushika Circle" created by the renowned artist Gakutei (1765-1822), also known as Harunobu Yashima or Sadaoka Yashima. The print, created around 1822, showcases Hojo Tokiyori in a formal seated position, studying at a lectern adorned with a shikishiban, a traditional Japanese writing tablet. The regent is dressed in a brown robe with a green sash, signifying his high rank. He is surrounded by various accessories and symbols of power, including a horikawa taro, a type of fan, and a shinkado, a ceremonial box. The print is a masterpiece of the Edo period (1603-1868) gogaku artistic style, characterized by its focus on portraying everyday life and people. The intricate details and vibrant colors, particularly the use of green and brown, add to the print's aesthetic appeal. The print is a surimono, a type of Japanese print that was created as a gift or to commemorate a special occasion. Hojo Tokiyori was a significant figure in Japanese history, serving as regent for the young shogun during the Kamakura Period. He was known for his wisdom and military prowess, and this print serves as a testament to his legacy. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection and is a valuable addition to the institute's extensive Asian art collection.
