EDITORS COMMENTS
Inuta Kobungo Yasuyori: A Heroic Moment in Japanese Art and Literature This stunning full-length woodblock print, titled "Inuta Kobungo Yasuyori Killing a Boar," is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi from the 19th century, specifically from the Meiji Era (1868-1912). This artwork is part of the series "Beauty and Valor in the Novel Suikoden," which was inspired by the legendary Japanese novel "Suikoden," a popular work of fiction during the Edo period (1603-1868). The print depicts the hero Inuta Kobungo Yasuyori, a character from the novel, in a heroic moment as he bends forward to kill a boar with a spear. The boar, an eurasian wild pig, is shown in a fierce attack position, with its sharp tusks bared and its body tensed. The artist expertly captures the intensity of the moment, with the hunter's muscles taut and his body balanced on one leg, the other leg apart for stability. The hero is dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, wearing a kimono with intricate patterns and a sash tied around his waist. His bare feet are shown, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The print is a beautiful example of color woodblock printing, with vivid colors used to bring the scene to life. The calligraphy at the top of the print reads "Inuta Kobungo Yasuyori," identifying the hero, and the bottom left corner includes the artist's signature, "Tsukioka Yoshitoshi." This print is a testament to the rich artistic and literary heritage of Japan and a reminder of the enduring appeal of heroic tales and legends. This print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it can be appreciated by visitors from all over the world as a valuable piece of Asian art and a window into the past.
