A Civilized Daruma
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1882. This stunning piece is part of the artist's collection of sketches, showcasing the artist's mastery of the ukiyo-e style. The print depicts two figures: a monk, embodying the traditional image of Daruma, the founder of Zen Buddhism in China, and a young woman. Daruma is depicted in a civilized and refined manner, leaning on his elbow as he reads a scroll. His serious expression and the intricate details of his monk's robe convey a sense of deep contemplation and wisdom. The young woman, dressed in elegant clothing, sits beside Daruma, looking up at him with admiration and respect. She holds a fan in one hand and a brush and ink in the other, suggesting that she is a scholar or an artist. The contrast between the traditional monk and the modern young woman highlights the blending of old and new in Meiji Japan (1868-1912). The print is a beautiful example of color woodblock printing, with intricate details and bold lines. The use of brown and muted colors adds to the overall sense of calm and contemplation. The calligraphy in the top left corner of the print identifies the artist and the title of the work. This print is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the rich cultural history of Japan during the Meiji era. It 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 image of Daruma and the young woman, engaged in quiet contemplation, serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art to connect us with the past and to inspire us in the present.
