  • Painting Description

    "Twenty Four Paragons Tai Shun and the Elephants" is a work by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a renowned Japanese ukiyo-e artist of the late Edo period. Known for creating innovative and imaginative prints, Kuniyoshi's range includes landscapes, beautiful women, Kabuki actors, cats, and mythical animals.

    This particular work, "Twenty Four Paragons Tai Shun and the Elephants," showcases Kuniyoshi's adeptness at incorporating Chinese subjects into his art, an apt reflection of the Japan-China cultural interplay during the Edo period. The piece comes from his series on the Chinese classic "Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety," illustrating the Chinese moral tales, each revolving around a virtue of the Confucian school.

    "Twenty Four Paragons Tai Shun and the Elephants" depicts the story of Tai Shun, whose exemplary filial piety made the local elephants venerate him. Drawing on the allegorical power of the narrative, Kuniyoshi portrays the elephants' respectful gesture towards Tai Shun, invoking the power of piety in influencing even the animal kingdom. The composure and grace in Tai Shun's posture as he stands amid the mighty elephants stands a testament to the revered moral virtue Kuniyoshi seeks to emphasize.

    Kuniyoshi's mastery lies in his ability to imbue an expressiveness into the portrayed characters, giving the print a meaning beyond the mere visual. The pictorial composition, detailing, and the manner in which he establishes a harmonic balance between Tai Shun and the elephants demonstrate his profound understanding of narrative storytelling, expression, and perspective.

    "Twenty Four Paragons Tai Shun and the Elephants" retains its cultural significance as an essential link between Japanese art and Chinese philosophies of antiquity, reflecting the aesthetic interpretations of moral narratives from the eastern canon. Like many of Kuniyoshi's works, this print extends beyond the borders of time, asserting the artist's legacy in the global history of art and culture.
