EDITORS COMMENTS
Yoshitsune Training with the Tengu Sojobo," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyosai, depicts an intriguing scene from the 12th century Heian period and the Minamoto clan era. The print, created in the 1860s, showcases the legendary figure Minamoto no Yoshitsune in mid-air as he kicks a goblin-like Tengu named Sojobo, who is shown with a crescent moon on his head and wearing colorful robes. The print is set against a backdrop of cherry blossoms, symbolizing the transience of life, and the changing of the seasons. Yoshitsune, dressed in a traditional kimono, is shown with a fighting stick in hand, ready for battle. The elderly Tengu, with a mischievous grin, seems to be enjoying the encounter. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print are characteristic of the color woodblock printing technique, which was popular during the Edo period. The print's letterbox format, with its elongated shape, adds to its dramatic effect. The image of Yoshitsune training with the Tengu Sojobo is a common theme in Japanese folklore, and this print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The print is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
