Danjo Matsunaga Hisahide before His Suicide,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, showcases the intense emotion and historical significance of the Meiji Era (1868-1912) in Japan. This print is part of Yoshitoshi's "Warriors Trembling with Courage" series and was created in the 1880s. The full-length portrait depicts Danjo Matsunaga Hisahide, a daimyo (feudal lord) from the late Sengoku period (1467-1603). Hisahide is shown in a traditional Japanese kimono, his posture conveying a deep sense of anger and fury. The olive green color of his clothing and the intricate patterns add to the metaphorical representation of his turbulent emotions. Hisahide's face is contorted with rage, his eyes narrowed and his mouth set in a firm line. In one hand, he holds a dagger, symbolizing his readiness for battle, while the other hand is clenched into a fist. The artist's masterful use of calligraphy adds an elegant touch to the print, with the title and artist's signature delicately inscribed in the top right corner. The setting of the print is simple, with a plain background, allowing the focus to remain on the powerful and intense portrait of Danjo Matsunaga Hisahide. The use of woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, showcasing the intricacies of the traditional Japanese art form. This print is a significant historical artifact, offering a glimpse into the tumultuous past of Japan during the Sengoku and Meiji eras. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistic brilliance of Tsukioka Yoshitoshi.
