Hatchotsubute Kiheiji's Wife Yatsushiro with a Dog,
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1866. This exquisite artwork is part of the "Beauty and Valor in the Novel Suikoden" series, which showcases scenes from the popular Japanese novel "Suikoden." The print depicts Yatsushiro, the wife of Hatchotsubute Kiheiji, a samurai from the Taiso district, standing in a serene night scene. She is dressed in an elegant kimono, adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, including shades of blue and red. Her long, flowing hair is tied back in a traditional style, and she wears her bare feet, a common practice in Japan during the Edo period. Yatsushiro gazes back over her shoulder with a gentle smile, as if lost in thought. In her hand, she holds a bow and arrow, a nod to her husband's samurai status and her own warrior spirit. At her feet, a loyal dog sits, its ears perked up and eyes fixed on its master. The dog adds a sense of warmth and companionship to the scene, contrasting the fierce and ferocious image often associated with samurai and their wives. The print is a stunning example of the traditional woodblock printing technique, with intricate details and precise lines. The use of calligraphy adds an additional layer of beauty and heritage to the artwork. The location and time of day are not explicitly stated, but the peaceful night scene and the traditional clothing suggest the Tokugawa period. This print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is admired for its historical significance and artistic merit. It is a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and the beauty and valor that can be found in its literature and art.
