EDITORS COMMENTS
Oda Harunaga and a Page with a Lantern," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the Meiji Era in the 1860s. This striking image is part of Yoshitoshi's "One Hundred Ghost Tales from China and Japan" series, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Asia. The print depicts Oda Harunaga, the son of the famous daimyo (feudal lord) Oda Nobunaga, and a page, standing in a tranquil garden setting. Harunaga, dressed in elegant 16th-century apparel, gestures towards a caryota urens tree, while the page holds a lantern, its light illuminating the night scene. The background is adorned with intricate calligraphy and natural elements, adding to the serene atmosphere. Harunaga's attire is a testament to the fashion of the time, with a kimono featuring vibrant colors and intricate designs. The page, dressed in simpler clothing, complements Harunaga's grandeur. The use of color and lighting adds depth and dimension to the print, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The setting of the print is reminiscent of the historic city of Kyoto in Kinki, Japan, during the Meiji Period. The inclusion of the lantern suggests a ghost story or supernatural element, which was a popular theme in Yoshitoshi's work. This full-length print is a stunning example of the traditional Japanese art of block printing, which involves carving designs into wooden blocks and pressing ink onto paper. The intricate details and masterful use of color demonstrate the skill and artistry of the artist. Today, this precious piece of history can be found in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the art of woodblock printing.
