"Ushiwakamaru Being Taught Fencing" is a notable woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), who is celebrated for his innovative and dynamic approach to ukiyo-e, the traditional Japanese art form of woodblock printing. Yoshitoshi's works are distinguished by their vivid imagery, dramatic compositions, and a deep engagement with historical and mythological themes.

This particular print depicts a scene from the legendary life of Minamoto no Yoshitsune, one of Japan's most famous and romanticized historical figures. Yoshitsune, originally named Ushiwakamaru in his youth, was a samurai warrior of the late Heian and early Kamakura periods. The print captures a moment from his early life when he was being trained in the art of fencing by the tengu, mythical creatures often depicted as part human and part bird, who were believed to possess extraordinary martial skills.

Yoshitoshi's portrayal of this legendary training session is imbued with a sense of movement and intensity, characteristic of his later works. The composition typically features Ushiwakamaru in a dynamic pose, engaging with his supernatural instructor amidst a backdrop that evokes the mystical and otherworldly setting of the legend. The use of bold lines and vibrant colors not only highlights the physicality of the scene but also enhances the dramatic tension between the human and the mythical.

Yoshitoshi's "Ushiwakamaru Being Taught Fencing" is part of his broader oeuvre that often explored themes of heroism, folklore, and the supernatural. His ability to blend traditional ukiyo-e techniques with a modern sensibility has earned him a lasting legacy in the world of Japanese art. This print, like many of his works, reflects his fascination with the interplay between history and myth, and his skill in bringing these stories to life through the medium of woodblock printing.
