Hayano Kanpei and the Farmer Yoichi
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada in 1859. This stunning work of art depicts two men, Hayano Kanpei and the Farmer Yoichi, engrossed in a dramatic scene. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). In the foreground, we see the figure of Hayano Kanpei, a man dressed in the traditional attire of the time, with a worried and fearful expression on his face. His kimono, in shades of grey and brown, is adorned with intricate patterns, reflecting the attention to detail that was a hallmark of Japanese art during this era. The inset at the top left of the print shows the character Gepparo, who is believed to have inspired the name of the protagonist, Hayano Kanpei. In the background, we see the Farmer Yoichi, who is startled and frightened, with his clothes disheveled and his face contorted in alarm. He wears a simple, practical outfit, consisting of a grey robe and a straw hat, reflecting his occupation as a farmer. The print also features the character Shozo, who is depicted in the inset at the bottom right, and is believed to represent the narrator of the story. The print is based on a popular play of the time, "Sugawara Denju Tenarai Kagami," and is a masterful example of the color woodblock printing technique. The use of bold lines, intricate details, and vivid colors brings the characters to life, transporting us back to the Japan of the 19th century. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), and is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, and history. Overall, "Hayano Kanpei and the Farmer Yoichi" is a beautiful and intriguing work of art that offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The print's dramatic scene, intricate details, and stunning use of color make it a true masterpiece of Japanese art.
