"Operating on Guanyu's Arm" by Katsushika Ii Taito is a Japanese ukiyo-e print that vividly depicts a legendary scene from Chinese history involving the warrior Guan Yu. This artwork is part of the rich tradition of Japanese woodblock prints that often portrayed figures and tales from Chinese folklore and history, reflecting the cultural exchange between Japan and China.

The print illustrates the famous episode where Guan Yu, a prominent general serving under the warlord Liu Bei during the late Eastern Han dynasty, undergoes an operation on his arm. Despite the severity of the procedure, Guan Yu is depicted calmly playing a game of Go, showcasing his legendary bravery and stoicism. The scene is a popular subject in East Asian art, symbolizing loyalty, courage, and the warrior ethos.

Katsushika Ii Taito, a lesser-known artist within the Katsushika school, demonstrates a meticulous attention to detail and a strong grasp of narrative expression in this work. The print is characterized by its dynamic composition and the vivid portrayal of the characters involved, making it a compelling piece within the genre of ukiyo-e.

This artwork not only serves as a visual representation of a historical legend but also provides insight into the values and aesthetics of the period in which it was created. It remains an important work for studies in both Japanese art and the cultural portrayal of historical Chinese figures.
