Kusunoki Tamonmaru Masatsura Surprising a Fox Raccoon Dog Ghost
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1865. This artwork is based on a tale from "Hyaku Monogatari," or "One Hundred Ghost Tales," a collection of ghost stories from China and Japan. The scene depicts Kusunoki Tamonmaru Masatsura, a 14th-century Japanese commander, encountering a ghostly fox raccoon dog in the forest. The print showcases the intricacies of the Edo period's (1603-1868) traditional Japanese art, with its vibrant color palette and detailed brushwork. The commander is dressed in a striking kimono, adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors, reflecting his high status. The fox raccoon dog, a phantom creature from Japanese folklore, is depicted in a ghostly green color, blending into the forest background. The print's design is a testament to the artistic heritage of Japan and its rich history. The use of calligraphy adds an elegant touch to the artwork, with the title and artist's signature elegantly written in traditional Japanese script. The print's intricate details, from the commander's clothing to the forest background, demonstrate the masterful skill of woodblock printing during the 19th century. This artwork is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the blend of Japanese folklore, military history, and artistic tradition. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, history, or ghost stories, and a beautiful addition to any collection. Currently, this print can be found at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), allowing art enthusiasts and scholars to appreciate its historical significance and artistic merit.
