EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century color woodblock print, titled "The Chinese God of War (image 2 of 2)" and created by the renowned Japanese artist Hokusai Katsushika (1760-1849), showcases the powerful deity Saki no Tatsumasa, also known as Shunrō Okina or Sorobeku. The image is a reproduction of the print in the shape of a fan, a common format for portable art in Japan. The God of War, depicted here with a long beard and intense expression, is shown holding a spear and a fan, symbolizing both war and peace. His muscular physique and fierce gaze convey his role as a protector and a warrior. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print reflect the masterful skill of Hokusai, who was known for his innovative and groundbreaking artistic style. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and China, and the complex relationship between the two countries during the 19th century. The influence of Chinese art and religion on Japanese culture is evident in the depiction of the God of War, who is often associated with Chinese mythology and folklore. The print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), in the United States, and is a valuable addition to the museum's extensive collection of Asian art. The image invites us to explore the history and traditions of East Asia, and to appreciate the beauty and complexity of the art that emerged from this fascinating region during the 19th century.
