EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "RaikAc shitennAc to tsuchigumo, RaikAc ShitennAc [Minamoto Yorimitsu] and the earth spider" artist Utagawa Kuninaga takes us on a thrilling journey into Japanese folklore. The print showcases an intense moment as Minamoto Yorimitsu, accompanied by another man, engages in a strategic game of Go inside a traditional room. However, their peaceful setting is abruptly shattered when a menacing demon crashes through the roof. The vibrant colors used by Kuninaga bring life to this dramatic scene, highlighting the chaos and danger that unfolds before our eyes. The presence of the earth spider adds an additional layer of intrigue to the narrative. Known as tsuchigumo in Japanese mythology, these creatures were believed to possess supernatural powers and often took on human form to deceive unsuspecting victims. Here, it seems that Minamoto Yorimitsu's skills are put to the test as he confronts both his opponent at the gameboard and this formidable adversary from another realm. Utagawa Kuninaga masterfully captures this pivotal moment with intricate details and dynamic composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from between 1804 and 1808, we can't help but be drawn into its rich storytelling and marvel at Quint Lox's ability to preserve such historical treasures in Liszt Collection.
