EDITORS COMMENTS
Masakiyo Captures the Wild Tiger" is a stunning triptych woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi during the 19th century. This masterpiece transports us back to the feudal era of Japan, specifically during the Edo and Tokugawa periods, when the country was ruled by powerful daimyos and their samurai armies. The print depicts Masakiyo, a brave and skilled hunter, in the midst of an exhilarating tiger hunt. Masakiyo, dressed in full armor, stands face to face with the ferocious wild tiger on the riverbank. The tiger, with its sharp teeth bared and muscles tensed, seems ready to pounce, while Masakiyo, with a determined look on his face, holds his spear steady, prepared to strike. The background of the print features a lush jungle landscape, with a winding river running through it, adding to the sense of adventure and excitement. The use of color is masterful, with the green color of the jungle contrasting beautifully with the brown armor and the brown and white tiger. The print is a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese art, particularly the Ukiyo-e style, which emphasizes the beauty of everyday life and the natural world. The print is a legend in its own right, having been exhibited in prestigious museums around the world, including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). It is a reminder of the past, a glimpse into a time when men like Masakiyo hunted not for sport, but for survival and to provide for their communities. The print is a powerful reminder of the strength, courage, and determination of the people of Japan during the 16th and 19th centuries. The triptych format of the print adds to its visual impact, allowing us to see Masakiyo's triumph from different angles and perspectives. The print is a must-have for anyone interested in Japanese history, art, or culture, and a testament to the enduring legacy of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.
