EDITORS COMMENTS
Gojo Bridge, an Episode from the Life of Yoshitsune" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1881. This stunning artwork depicts an episode from the legendary life of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, a celebrated warrior from the Heian period (1183-1192) of Japan. The print showcases Yoshitsune's agile companion, Musashibo Benkei, skillfully avoiding an arrow shot while crossing Gojo Bridge in Kyoto. Benkei, dressed in his distinctive monk's robe and carrying a fighting stick, is shown mid-air, leaping over the bridge to dodge the arrow. The full-length image captures the dramatic tension of the moment, with the full moon casting an ethereal glow over the scene. The intricate details of the artwork are a testament to the mastery of the color woodblock printing technique. The vibrant colors and bold lines bring the historic figures to life, transporting the viewer to a bygone era. The image is set against the backdrop of the Gojo Bridge, a historic landmark in Kyoto, adding to the authenticity of the scene. The print is a beautiful representation of Japanese art and heritage, showcasing the country's rich history, culture, and traditions. The dramatic composition and the use of letterbox format make this print a standout piece, making it a must-have for any collection of Asian or historical art. This artwork is a reminder of the legendary tales and heroic figures that have shaped Japan's history, and serves as a testament to the enduring influence of Japanese art on the global art scene. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this piece in its collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the beauty and significance of this historic artwork.
