Painting Description
"Tametomo's Shipwreck" (also known as "Tametomo's Rescue") is a renowned ukiyo-e woodblock print by the Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi (1798–1861), who was one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e genre of woodblock printing and painting. This print is part of a series that illustrates the legendary exploits of the 12th-century samurai Minamoto no Tametomo, known for his exceptional strength and archery skills. The series showcases Kuniyoshi's vivid imagination and his ability to infuse traditional Japanese folklore with dynamic compositions and dramatic narratives.
The artwork depicts the dramatic scene of Tametomo's shipwreck, a pivotal moment in the samurai's life story. According to the legend, after being exiled to the island of Oshima following the Hogen Rebellion, Tametomo was shipwrecked during an attempt to return to the mainland. In Kuniyoshi's depiction, the muscular figure of Tametomo is shown in a moment of heroic struggle against the overwhelming forces of nature. The print captures the tension and energy of the scene through the use of powerful lines, intricate details, and a rich palette of colors that were characteristic of Kuniyoshi's style.
"Tametomo's Shipwreck" is celebrated for its artistic qualities and is an exemplary piece of Kuniyoshi's work that reflects the themes of heroism, loyalty, and the samurai spirit. It is also an important cultural artifact that provides insight into the Edo period's popular culture and the era's fascination with historical and legendary figures. The print remains a subject of interest for scholars of Japanese art and history, as well as for collectors and enthusiasts of ukiyo-e prints.
