EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the legendary Chinese military hero, Kuan Yu (162-220), and his loyal squire Chou-tsang. Renowned for his bravery and strategic prowess, Kuan Yu was canonized as Guan Di in 1594, becoming the revered god of War in Taoist tradition and the Protector of China in Buddhist belief. The woodblock art beautifully captures the essence of this iconic figure, whose story has been immortalized in various forms of traditional Chinese entertainment such as Kabuki theater. The Kabuki eighteen play Kang-Yu vividly narrates Kuan Yu's heroic journey, further solidifying his status as a symbol of courage and honor. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, we are transported to ancient China where Kuan Yu stands tall with an air of authority while Chou-tsang remains faithfully by his side. Their camaraderie is palpable, reflecting their unyielding bond forged through countless battles fought together. Beyond its artistic appeal, this print serves as a powerful reminder of the rich cultural heritage that surrounds us. It encapsulates not only the tale of a valiant warrior but also embodies centuries-old religious beliefs that continue to shape Chinese society today. Whether displayed in homes or galleries alike, this remarkable artwork invites us to explore history through visual storytelling. It pays homage to one man's extraordinary legacy while honoring the enduring spirit that resides within every hero – both on and off the battlefield.
