TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: TAMETOMO'S FEROCITY DRIVES AWAY THE SMALLPOX DEMONSBy Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), signed Yoshitoshi with seal YoshitoshiJapan, dated 1890Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical oban. Signed Yoshitoshi with seal Yoshitoshi; publisher Sasaki Toyokichi. Title Tametomo's Ferocity Drives away the Smallpox Demons, from the series Shinken sanjuroku kaisen (Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts). The warrior Minamoto no Tametomo driving away smallpox demons with his stern stance. He wears a fine suit of armor with a lion on the chest plate, gripping a bow in one hand. The demons scatter in alarm, an older one carrying a young demon covered with red spots on its back.SIZE of the sheet 37 x 25 cmCondition: Good condition with minor wear, some staining, and minor soiling. The sheet with a fold at the center. Minuscule losses to the outer edge and one tear. The legendary Tametomo was known as a powerful archer and fought during the Hogen Rebellion, but after being defeated he was exiled to an island. He conquered the island for himself, so the emperor sent a fleet to capture and punish him. After supposedly sinking an entire Taira ship with a single arrow, he committed suicide rather than be captured. According to one story, he didn't die, but escaped to Okinawa, becoming the ruler there. He effectively chased away smallpox demons when they threatened the islanders by persuading them to leave. Yoshitoshi's last woodblock series, Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts, draws on an array of supernatural tales from both China and Japan. The images depict the weird, wonderful, and sinister ghost stories that were widely told among the Japanese population. Interestingly, this series was produced at a time when the Meiji government actively discouraged anything that contradicted Western science and rationality, leading some critics to regard this series as a criticism of the government's new ideology.Ghost stories have long been a rich source of subject for kabuki plays and Noh, which in turn would inspire ukiyo-e artists in their print making. Several of the subjects for the Thirty-six Ghosts were taken directly from Noh, whereas many more of prints were based on stories from kabuki plays.Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892) was one of the leading woodblock print artists during the Meiji era (1868-1912) and one of the last to work in the traditional ukiyo-e manner. Born in Edo (today’s Tokyo), he showed a strong interest in classical Japanese literature and history. When he was 11, he became a student at Kuniyoshi Utagawa’s studio. Under his teacher’s guidance, he showed exquisite draftsmanship skills and learned how to draw from life, something not necessarily part of the training schools of painting and illustration in Japan.Museum comparison:A closely related print is in the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art, object number F89-7/16.
