EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Yang Xiang (Yo Ko), from the series A Childs Mirror of the Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety" transports us back to 19th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a renowned artist of the ukiyo-e genre, this artwork showcases his exceptional skill in capturing both natural beauty and human emotions. In this scene, we see Yang Xiang standing amidst a breathtaking landscape. Towering pine trees frame a cascading waterfall that gushes with remarkable force. The vibrant colors used in this print bring life to every element - from the lush greenery surrounding Yang Xiang to the vivid hues adorning his traditional attire. As our gaze shifts towards Yang Xiang himself, we are struck by his serene expression and dignified posture. His presence exudes strength and resilience as he stands firm against nature's powerful forces. Beside him rests a majestic tiger, symbolizing courage and protection. The intricate details within this piece further enhance its allure; delicate fungi dotting the forest floor add an enchanting touch while showcasing Kuniyoshi's attention to even the smallest elements of nature. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this woodblock print not only serves as a testament to Kuniyoshi's artistic prowess but also offers us insight into Japanese culture and heritage during that era. It is truly an exquisite representation of artistry merging with storytelling in one
