Shunkan's Envious Gaze - A Tale of Longing and Redemption
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, we are transported to the 12th century as we witness a poignant moment from the epic Japanese tale, "The Tale of the Heike". The print titled "Shunkan Watching Enviously from Kikai Island as Yasuyori Returns to the Capitol after Being Unexpectedly Pardoned" beautifully captures the emotional turmoil experienced by Shunkan. Set against a backdrop of towering cliffs and crashing waves, Shunkan is exiled on Kikai Island while his companion Yasuyori returns triumphantly to the capital. The artist skillfully uses color and composition to convey Shunkan's desperate longing for freedom and redemption. The cream-colored waves symbolize both hope and despair as they relentlessly crash against the shore. Yoshitoshi masterfully portrays Shunkan's yearning through his intense gaze towards Yasuyori's departure. His green robe blends with nature, emphasizing his connection with Kikai Island while simultaneously highlighting his isolation. This vertical oban diptych format adds depth to the narrative, allowing us to immerse ourselves in this historical moment. This woodblock print not only showcases Yoshitoshi's technical brilliance but also serves as a reminder of Japan's rich literary heritage. It invites viewers into an ancient world filled with honor, betrayal, and ultimately redemption. As we contemplate this mesmerizing artwork at the Art Institute of Chicago or any other art center fortunate enough to house it, we can't help but be moved by Shunkan’s story - a timeless tale that continues to resonate across centuries.
