EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century woodblock print, titled "Craftsman by the Twelve Signs of the Zodiac" is a masterpiece created by Utagawa Kuniyoshi. This polychrome artwork showcases the artist's exceptional skill and attention to detail within the Edo period artistic school. The print features an array of mythical creatures, animals, and symbolic elements associated with astrology and Japanese folklore. Each zodiac sign is represented through vivid ink and color on paper, bringing life to this extraordinary composition. From majestic horses galloping in full force to fierce roosters proudly displaying their vibrant plumage, every creature exudes a sense of power and grace. Kuniyoshi's meticulous craftsmanship extends beyond his portrayal of animals; he also incorporates intricate wheels symbolizing time passing as well as monstrous beings that add an element of mystery to the scene. The combination of mythological creatures alongside traditional symbols creates a harmonious blend between reality and fantasy.
