EDITORS COMMENTS
The Warrior Kusunoki Masashige (1294-1336) Bidding Farewell to His Son Masatsura, c. 1780" is a captivating and emotive colour woodblock print by Shunsei Katsukawa. The artwork, measuring 26.5 x 19.8 cm, depicts a poignant moment between a father and his son in ancient Japan. In this scene, the renowned warrior Kusunoki Masashige prepares to part ways with his young son Masatsura on the riverbank. Clad in elaborate armor and helmet with visor raised, Kusunoki exudes strength and determination as he embraces his role as both protector and leader. Masatsura, depicted as a little boy holding onto his father's hand, gazes up at him with admiration mixed with apprehension. The contrasting emotions of love and duty are palpable in their expressions. The composition is enhanced by the presence of towering trees that symbolize resilience and endurance amidst adversity – qualities synonymous with samurai culture. The vibrant colours used by Shunsei bring life to every detail of this masterpiece. This artwork not only showcases the artistic prowess of Shunsei but also provides us with a glimpse into the profound bond between father and son during times of war in feudal Japan. It serves as a reminder of the sacrifices made by warriors like Kusunoki for their families and country. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this Japanese print continues to captivate viewers centuries later through its evocative portrayal of familial love intertwined with honor and duty.
