EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Shoki the Demon Queller" a legendary figure depicted in traditional Japanese art. Created by Toyoharu, Utagawa in the late 18th century, this colour woodcut captures the essence of Shoki's fierce and powerful presence. Measuring 66x11.4 cm, this Hashira print is displayed at the Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove, Glasgow. The artwork belongs to the ukiyo-e school, known for its vibrant and detailed representations of everyday life during Japan's Edo period. Shoki himself is portrayed as a male guardian warrior with an air of intensity surrounding him. Holding a sword tightly in his hand, he exudes strength and determination as he stands ready to combat evil forces that threaten humanity. Adorned with talismans and symbols of protection, Shoki embodies both physical prowess and spiritual power. The artist skillfully employs sumi ink to create bold lines and contrasting shades that bring out every intricate detail of Shoki's appearance. This print serves as a testament to Toyoharu's talent for capturing not only physical attributes but also the essence of mythical figures within Japanese folklore. Enzo Di Cosmo expertly captures this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder without any commercial intent. Through his lens, viewers can appreciate the mastery behind this Asian legend while immersing themselves in its rich cultural significance.
