No. 8 - Ushiwakamaru Defeats Tankai of Shirakawa at the Gojo Shrine
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige during the Edo period, around 1832 or 1834. This stunning work of art is part of the series "The Life of Yoshitsune" (Yoshitsune ichidaiki no uchi), which showcases the legendary exploits of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a celebrated samurai from the 12th century. The print depicts a pivotal moment in the life of Yoshitsune, as he stands triumphantly on the steps of the Gojo Shrine, his katana raised high, ready to strike down his adversary, Tankai of Shirakawa. The full moon casts an ethereal glow over the scene, illuminating the determined expression on Yoshitsune's face and the intricate details of his traditional samurai attire. The cartouche at the bottom of the print provides context for the scene, explaining that the confrontation took place at the Gojo Shrine, a significant religious site in Japan. The print also showcases the scientific knowledge of the time, as the solar system is depicted in the night sky above, with the moon representing the Earth and the planets and stars arranged in their correct astronomical positions. This masterpiece of Ando Hiroshige's artistic brilliance is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate audiences with its stunning depiction of Japanese history, culture, and the natural world. The print's intricate details, vibrant colors, and powerful narrative make it a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art or the history of printmaking.
