"Fukagawa Susaki Benten" is a celebrated woodblock print by the renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861). Kuniyoshi, a prominent figure in the late Edo period, is best known for his dynamic compositions and innovative use of color and form, which have left a lasting impact on the genre of ukiyo-e.

This particular print is part of Kuniyoshi's series "One Hundred and Eight Heroes of the Popular Water Margin" (Tsūzoku Suikoden Gōketsu Hyakuhachinin no Hitori), which was inspired by the Chinese classical novel "Water Margin" (Shuihu Zhuan). The series, created between 1827 and 1830, depicts the legendary exploits of the 108 outlaws who form a band to fight against corrupt officials and injustice. Kuniyoshi's interpretation of these characters is notable for its dramatic flair and meticulous attention to detail.

"Fukagawa Susaki Benten" specifically portrays one of these heroic figures in a striking and evocative manner. The print captures the essence of the character's bravery and strength, set against a backdrop that reflects the cultural and geographical context of the Edo period. The use of bold lines, vibrant colors, and intricate patterns exemplifies Kuniyoshi's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to convey complex narratives through visual art.

Kuniyoshi's work, including "Fukagawa Susaki Benten," played a significant role in popularizing the stories of the "Water Margin" in Japan, blending Chinese literary themes with Japanese artistic sensibilities. His prints not only entertained but also resonated with the social and political sentiments of the time, making them an important part of Japan's cultural heritage.

Today, "Fukagawa Susaki Benten" is admired not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance, offering insight into the rich tapestry of Edo-period art and literature. Kuniyoshi's legacy continues to influence contemporary artists and remains a subject of study and admiration in the field of art history.
