EDITORS COMMENTS
Raccoon Dog Protecting Its Cubs from Attack by a Dog" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in the late 1870s. This masterpiece is part of the series "The Postal News," number 724, and showcases the artist's exceptional skill in the traditional Japanese art form of ukiyo-e. The print depicts a raccoon dog, a native Asian species, fiercely protecting its cubs from the attack of a menacing dog. The raccoon dog, dressed in a rustic, rural setting, stands tall and determined, its body language conveying a sense of unwavering protection. The four humans in the background, dressed in traditional Meiji Era clothing, observe the scene with a mixture of awe and concern. The woodblock print is a colorful and vibrant representation of the Meiji Period in Japan, with intricate details and calligraphy that add to the overall beauty of the artwork. The raccoon dog's fur is depicted in a textured, colorful manner, while the clothing of the humans is adorned with intricate patterns and designs, reflecting the rich heritage and cultural traditions of the time. The print is a testament to the concept of regionalism in Japanese art, highlighting the rural life and the connection between humans and wildlife. The raccoon dog, a wild animal, is presented as a protector and a symbol of motherly love, while the humans observe the scene with a sense of respect and admiration for the natural world. This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the rich history and cultural heritage of Japan during the Meiji Era. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and powerful storytelling make it a must-have for anyone interested in Asian art, wildlife, or the history of woodblock printing.
