EDITORS COMMENTS
Taijian Wangfuren Playing One-String Chin, Encircled by Dragon" is a stunning 19th century woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Gakutei, also known as Harunobu Yashima or Sadaoka. This work of art depicts a male figure, believed to be the god of wind, Fujin, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, including a vibrant blue kimono and a distinctive hat adorned with a dragon motif. The god is shown playing the one-stringed chin, a simple musical instrument often used in ancient Japanese music and theater, particularly in the gogaku style. Surrounding the god is an intricate design of mythical beasts and creatures, including a magnificent dragon, which encircles him, adding to the mystical and otherworldly atmosphere of the print. The dragon, a powerful and revered creature in Japanese mythology, is depicted with its wings spread wide, emphasizing its grandeur and strength. The god's costume, with its elaborate patterns and rich colors, further highlights the intricacy and beauty of Japanese design and fashion during the 19th century. This woodblock print, which measures approximately 11 x 15 inches, is a testament to the artistic heritage and cultural significance of Japan during the 19th century. It was created by the masterful hand of Gakutei, who was known for his innovative and expressive use of color and design in his works. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The print's title, "Taijian Wangfuren Playing One-String Chin, Encircled by Dragon," provides a glimpse into the rich tapestry of Japanese mythology and folklore, as well as the artistic traditions that have shaped Japan's cultural identity for centuries. Whether viewed as a work of art, a historical artifact, or a window into the past, this woodblock print by Gakutei is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire.
