EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Koxinga Hunting the Tiger (Watonai tora-gari no zu)" takes us back to the Edo period in Japan. Created by the renowned artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi around 1846, this fine art piece showcases his mastery of colour woodcut technique. The image depicts a legendary scene from Asian mythology, where Koxinga, a heroic figure, embarks on an epic quest to hunt down a fearsome tiger. The intensity and dynamism captured in this woodcut are truly remarkable. Every stroke of Kuniyoshi's brush brings life to both the hunter and his prey. As we delve into this visual narrative, we are transported to the Far East and immersed in its rich cultural heritage. This genre of Japanese art known as ukiyo-e not only entertains but also serves as a medium for storytelling and allegory. This particular print is part of a private collection that cherishes Oriental arts. It stands as a testament to Kuniyoshi's artistic prowess and his ability to capture mythical tales through graphic arts. The vibrant colours used in this woodcut add depth and drama to every detail, making it an exquisite addition for any collector or enthusiast. Let us appreciate this rare glimpse into ancient folklore through Utagawa Kuniyoshi's lens—a true masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences with its beauty and timeless allure.
