EDITORS COMMENTS
Mori Motonari Attacking Sue Harutaka at Itsukushima," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the 1880s and is part of his esteemed series, "A Mirror of Great Warriors of Japan." The print depicts a pivotal moment in Japanese history during the 16th century, when Mori Motonari, the shrewd and cunning daimyo (feudal lord) of Chugoku, confronted Sue Harutaka, the Beggar Prince, at the entrance of Itsukushima Shrine on the island of Miyajima. The print captures the intensity of the confrontation as Mori Motonari, clad in armor and brandishing a sword, charges towards Sue Harutaka, who is shown huddled in a small boat, attempting to escape. The background is filled with ominous, dark clouds, signifying the impending storm and the tumultuous nature of the battle. The print's color palette is dominated by deep blues and greens, reflecting the geographical features of the island and the surrounding sea. The print is a masterpiece of calligraphy and block printing, with intricate details and precise lines. The exterior of the print showcases the artist's skillful use of color and texture, as well as his ability to convey the dynamic energy of the scene. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the Meiji Era (1868-1912), a time of great change and modernization in the country. The print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is admired by visitors from around the world for its historical significance and artistic merit. The image of Mori Motonari attacking Sue Harutaka at Itsukushima continues to captivate viewers with its depiction of a pivotal moment in Japanese history, as well as its stunning visual composition and masterful execution.
