EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "Comic. 100 Turns of the Rosary from 100 Wildnesses" by Kyosai, created in 1864, transports viewers into a nightmarish realm of demons and fantastical creatures. The vivid colors and intricate details bring to life a vision that is both eerie and mesmerizing. At the center of the composition, we witness a fierce battle between two powerful entities. Shoki, a demon-quelling scholar armed with a drawn sword, confronts an enormous demon taking the form of a Giant Squid. Shoki carries an immense rosary that encloses a crowd of domestic figures, ranging from mounted Samurai warriors to playful children engrossed in their toys. Behind each contender stands a pale supporting troop - those aligned with Shoki bear single calligraphic characters within soap bubble-heads while those allied with the Squid exhibit human-to-animal faces. This juxtaposition highlights the duality between good and evil present throughout this artwork. The print belongs to Edo period (1603-1868), also known as Tokugawa period in Japan's history when art flourished under strict social order. It showcases Kyosai's exceptional talent for creating monstrous yet wonderfully detailed characters within his compositions. Displayed at Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK, this woodblock print serves as an intriguing glimpse into Japanese folklore and mythology during this historical era. Its unique blend of horror and beauty continues to captivate audiences worldwide centuries after its creation.
