EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Mikake wa kowai ga tonda ii hito da (He looks scary but is really quite a nice person)" by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, created in 1847 during the Edo period, offers a glimpse into the rich world of Japanese art and mythology. This exquisite colour woodcut, now held in a private collection, showcases Kuniyoshi's mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular genre of woodblock prints. In this artwork, we are transported to an enchanting realm where allegory and literature intertwine. The image portrays a seemingly fearsome figure whose appearance belies his true nature as a kind-hearted individual. Through intricate details and vibrant colors typical of graphic arts from the Far East, Kuniyoshi invites us to explore the complexities of human perception. This print exemplifies manga-like storytelling prevalent in Japanese culture long before its global popularity today. As we delve deeper into its narrative layers, we uncover themes that resonate beyond time and place: the power of appearances versus reality and our propensity for making snap judgments based on outward appearances. Kuniyoshi's work continues to captivate viewers with its fusion of mythological elements and artistic finesse. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage while offering profound insights into universal human experiences. This rare gem from The Oriental Arts reminds us that beneath every intimidating exterior lies untold depths waiting to be discovered – an enduring message beautifully conveyed through this remarkable woodcut masterpiece
