  • Painting Description

    "Yama-Uba and Kintaro" is a notable woodblock print by the esteemed Japanese ukiyo-e artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806). Created during the Edo period, this work is part of Utamaro's oeuvre that captures the beauty and intricacies of Japanese folklore and daily life. The print depicts the legendary Yama-Uba, a mountain witch from Japanese folklore, alongside Kintaro, a child hero with superhuman strength.

    Yama-Uba, often portrayed as both nurturing and fearsome, is shown in a maternal light in this piece, reflecting the complexity of her character in traditional stories. She is seen caring for the young Kintaro, who is also known as "Golden Boy" and is a popular figure in children's tales. Kintaro is famous for being raised by Yama-Uba in the wild and for his friendly interactions with animals, often depicted with him in art.

    Utamaro's representation of these characters is imbued with his signature attention to detail and delicate use of line and color. The print is a part of a larger genre of ukiyo-e that celebrates and reinterprets the rich tapestry of Japanese myth and legend. The artist's ability to convey emotion and narrative within the constraints of the woodblock medium is evident in this work, making it a fine example of Utamaro's artistic legacy.

    "Yama-Uba and Kintaro" is not only a reflection of Utamaro's mastery of the ukiyo-e technique but also an important cultural artifact that offers insight into the Edo period's societal values and the era's penchant for storytelling. The print remains an influential piece of Japanese art history and continues to be studied and appreciated for its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance.
