EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Fukami Jikyu in moonlight, 1887" transports us to a bygone era of ancient Japan. Created by the talented artist Yoshitoshi Tsukioka, this colour woodcut measures 35.6x24.3 cm and is housed at the prestigious Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. The image showcases Fukami Jikyu, a former samurai who gracefully transitioned into a chivalrous commoner during an era of peace under Tokugawa rule. Bathed in the ethereal glow of the full moon, Jikyu's figure exudes both strength and serenity as he stands amidst a sea of chrysanthemums. Every detail within this Japanese print is meticulously crafted - from the intricate calligraphy adorning the background to Jikyu's traditional kimono robe that drapes elegantly around him. The composition evokes a sense of tranquility and reverence for nature that was deeply ingrained in Japanese culture. With its rich symbolism and masterful technique, this woodcut captures not only the essence of ukiyo-e art but also provides insight into historical aspects such as kabuki theater and Edo period customs. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork, we are transported to another time - one where honor and tradition intertwine with beauty and grace. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Yoshitoshi Tsukioka's exceptional talent as an artist.
