EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, No. 2: Ushiwakamaru Learns Swordsplay from the Tengu at Sojogatani on Mount Kurama, showcases a pivotal moment from the legendary life of Minamoto no Yoshitsune. Set in the 12th century during the Heian Period, the scene unfolds at the base of Mount Kurama in Kyoto, Kinki, Japan. Ushiwakamaru, the young Minamoto Yoshitsune, is depicted in the center, focused intently on the tengu, a mythical goblin-like creature, who teaches him the art of swordsmanship. The tengu, with its distinctive features of a beaked face, bird-like wings, and a human body, is a common figure in Japanese mythology, believed to possess supernatural powers and wisdom. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print bring the serene forest setting to life, with the towering trees and the gentle stream in the background adding to the tranquil atmosphere. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print includes the title, artist's name, and series information, while the artist's seal is located at the bottom right. This masterpiece, from the series The Life of Yoshitsune, is a testament to Ando Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Japanese mythology and history. The print serves as a window into the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its enduring legends.
