EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hand-coloured woodblock print by Yoshitoshi, we are transported to the Palace of the demon Ibaraki, where Watanabe no Tsuna stands poised with his bow and arrows. The legendary Japanese samurai, known for his military prowess, exudes an air of determination as he prepares to confront the formidable demon. Tsuna's presence is juxtaposed against a backdrop of ethereal beauty and mystery. The palace itself emanates an otherworldly aura, hinting at the supernatural forces that reside within its walls. As our eyes wander through the scene, we catch glimpses of female figures who seem both alluring and dangerous. The composition masterfully captures Tsuna's unwavering focus as he takes aim at his target. His bowstring taut and ready to release its deadly payload, he embodies the essence of a true warrior. With quiver in place and arrows at hand, every muscle in his body seems primed for action. This artwork not only showcases Yoshitoshi's exceptional skill but also pays homage to Japan's rich tradition of legends and folklore. It invites us into a world where heroes battle demons and honor prevails over darkness. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image from the Stapleton Collection, let us marvel at Watanabe no Tsuna's bravery while pondering our own inner battles against adversity.
