TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI: PICTURE OF OMORI HIKOSHICHI ENCOUNTERING A DEMON ON HIS PATHBy Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), signed Yoshitoshi with seal TaisoJapan, dated 1889Color woodblock print on paper. Vertical oban. Signed Yoshitoshi with seal Taiso; publisher Sasaki Toyokichi. Title Picture of Omori Hikoshichi Encountering a Demon on his Path, from the series Shinken sanjuroku kaisen (Thirty-Six New Forms of Ghosts).Omori Hikoshichi carrying a young beauty across a river. He had recognized her as the daughter of his old enemy, Kusunoki Masahige, whom he had defeated in battle. Her reflection in the water revealed her true form with two small horns on her head, indicating that she had changed into a demon, intent on killing Omori to avenge her father's death. He looks into the water, scowling as he realizes what she has become, ready to draw his sword and defend himself. Misty blue clouds drift across a full moon glowing softly in the evening sky.SIZE of the sheet 37 x 25 cmCondition: Good condition with wear, some fading, and slight browning. Minor creasing, few stains, and soiling. The sheet with a fold at the center and tears.Omori Hikoshichi, a loyal vassal of Ashikaga Takauji (1305-1358), was rewarded with governorship of a large territory after his assistance in the defeat of Kusunoki Masashige (1294-1336). To celebrate his improved status, Hikohichi sponsored a large party that lasted for several days. One night while on his way to the festivities, Hikohichi came upon a beautiful girl distressed after having lost her way. Carrying her on his back for some distance, they finally came to a river. As they crossed it, Hikohichi saw the girl's face reflected in the water and he realized she had transformed herself into a terrible demon. In some versions of the story, the demon is supposed to be the daughter of Kusunoki Masashige trying to avenge her father's death.?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 printmaking. 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 Minneapolis Institute of Art, accession number 2017.106.228.
