EDITORS COMMENTS
Empress Jingu and Takenouchi no Sukune Fishing at Chikuzen" is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, created during the Meiji Era in the late 19th century. This masterpiece is part of the series "Mirror of Famous Generals of Great Japan" (Dai nihon meisho kagami). The print depicts two prominent historical figures, Empress Jingu (169 – 269 AD) and Takenouchi no Sukune (died 257 AD), engaged in a leisurely fishing activity at the coastal area of Chikuzen, in present-day Fukuoka, Japan. Empress Jingu, dressed in an elegant kimono, holds a fishing line with a determined look on her face, while Takenouchi no Sukune, wearing a simple robe, focuses intently on his fishing rod, positioned between the rocks by the sea. The print showcases the rich heritage and artistic traditions of Japan during the Meiji Period. The intricate details in the apparel, the textures of the fabric, and the natural elements of the scene are all meticulously rendered with vivid colors and bold brushstrokes. The geographical features, such as the rocky coastline and the calm sea, add depth and context to the scene, further emphasizing the connection between the people and their land. Empress Jingu was a legendary figure in Japanese history, known for her military prowess and her role in unifying Japan during the late 3rd century. Takenouchi no Sukune was a statesman and a trusted advisor to the empress, who played a significant role in her reign. The print captures a moment of respite from their political duties, highlighting the human side of these historical figures. This woodblock print is a testament to the artistic innovation and cultural significance of the Meiji Era, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian art or Japanese heritage.
