EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Chōsenko Teitokuson (Ding Desun) attacked by a snake on a mountain path" showcases the extraordinary talent of Kuniyoshi Utagawa. Created between 1827 and 1830, this artwork measures 55.4x40.3 cm and is housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford. The scene depicted in this print transports us to a treacherous mountain path where Chōsenko Teitokuson finds himself engaged in a fierce battle with an enormous serpent. The vibrant colors used by Kuniyoshi bring life to this mythical creature, capturing its menacing presence as it coils around the warrior's body. With his sword drawn, Chōsenko Teitokuson stands fearlessly against this monstrous adversary. This dramatic confrontation between man and beast epitomizes the bravery and resilience of Japanese warriors during that era. Kuniyoshi's attention to detail is evident throughout the composition, from the intricate patterns on Chōsenko Teitokuson's armor to the sinuous curves of the snake's body. This woodblock print not only showcases technical mastery but also highlights Japan's rich folklore and mythology. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of both the beauty and danger that can be found within nature. It serves as a testament to human strength and determination when faced with formidable challenges. Bridgeman Images has preserved this stunning piece for all art enthusiasts to admire—a true treasure from Japan's artistic heritage.
