EDITORS COMMENTS
Huang Xiang, also known as Ko Kyo, is depicted in this stunning woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi. The image is part of Kuniyoshi's series "Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety in China," created during the Edo period in the mid-19th century. The paragons were a set of legendary figures celebrated for their exceptional filial piety, or deep respect and devotion to their parents. In this print, Huang Xiang is shown as a young boy, diligently performing household chores for his elderly father. The scene is filled with warmth and tenderness, as the father looks on approvingly from his chair. The intricate details of the woodblock print are evident in the textured fabric of the father's robe, the delicate folds of Huang Xiang's clothing, and the calligraphy that adorns the walls of their humble home. The print is a testament to the deep-rooted cultural values of filial piety and family in Chinese and Japanese societies during the Edo period. The image captures a moment of daily life, showcasing the importance of service and devotion to one's parents. The print is also a beautiful example of the Utagawa school's mastery of color woodblock printing, with its vibrant hues and intricate details. This print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and China. The image invites us to reflect on the enduring values of family, filial piety, and devotion, and the importance of passing on these values to future generations.
