Kogakura Kiritaro Saving Seiriki's Life at Otawara
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1884. This triptych is a part of the "Suikoden of the Tenpo Era" series and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The print depicts a heroic scene from Japanese literature, specifically from the "Water Margin" or "Suikoden," a classic Chinese novel that was popular in Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). In this particular scene, Kogakura Kiritaro, a brave and skilled warrior, is shown saving Seiriki's life during a battle at Otawara. Seiriki, with a severed head in his hand, is presented to Kiritaro, who is calmly holding a fan and seemingly unfazed by the gory sight. The triptych is set against a backdrop of smoke and chaos, with other warriors and soldiers in traditional Japanese attire, including hakama, kimono, and taiso, engaged in the fierce battle. The use of color and composition is masterful, with the contrast between the dark night and the brightly colored clothing adding to the dramatic effect. The image is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the late 19th century and showcases the intricate details of traditional Japanese clothing and the dynamic energy of Ukiyo-e art. The triptych format allows for a panoramic view of the scene, giving the viewer a sense of being present in the midst of the action. This woodblock print is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and scholars alike.
