Painting Description
"Soma no Furudairi Ai Masakado Himegimi Takiyasha Yojutsu o Motte Mikata o Atsumuru" is a renowned woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861). This print is part of Kuniyoshi's larger body of work that often depicted scenes from Japanese folklore, history, and mythology with a particular emphasis on samurai and warrior culture. The title translates to "Princess Takiyasha Summons a Skeleton Spectre to Frighten Mitsukuni," and the work is also known simply as "Princess Takiyasha and the Skeleton Spectre."
The print illustrates a famous scene from the early 10th-century Japanese legend of Taira no Masakado, a rebellious warlord who was eventually defeated and whose daughter, Princess Takiyasha, continued his legacy of resistance. In the artwork, the princess is depicted performing a magical ritual in the dilapidated Soma Palace, summoning a gigantic skeleton spectre to confront the intruder Oya no Mitsukuni, who had come to investigate the rumors of her plotting a rebellion to avenge her father.
Kuniyoshi's work is characterized by its dynamic composition, vivid detail, and the blending of the supernatural with the real, a common theme in Japanese folklore. The print is a prime example of the artist's skill in portraying ghost stories and the macabre, a genre that was popular during the Edo period. It showcases his ability to evoke a sense of drama and tension, as well as his mastery of the ukiyo-e technique.
This particular print is highly regarded for its imaginative storytelling and has been widely studied for its artistic and cultural significance. It is often cited as a masterpiece of Kuniyoshi's oeuvre and a classic example of the supernatural themes that permeate the ukiyo-e genre. The work remains an important piece of Japanese art history and continues to influence modern depictions of yokai (monsters) and other elements of Japanese folklore in popular culture.
