EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by Hishikawa Moronobu that transports us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. This black and white masterpiece showcases the artist's skillful use of block printing techniques, bringing to life a humorous and action-packed scene. In this artwork, we witness the mythical Tengu King imparting his wisdom and martial arts prowess upon his eager pupils. With wings spread wide and armed with swords, these goblin-like creatures engage in an intense swordfight under their monarch's watchful eye. The comical expressions on their faces add a touch of levity to the otherwise fierce battle. Moronobu's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this print. From the intricate patterns on their garments to the dynamic poses captured mid-action, he captures both the grace and intensity of sword fighting during this era. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into Japanese mythology and cultural heritage. It reflects the importance placed on education, discipline, and loyalty within feudal society. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Art collection, "The Tengu King Training his Pupils" stands as a testament to Moronobu's artistic brilliance and enduring legacy in ukiyo-e prints. It invites viewers to immerse themselves in Japan's rich history while marveling at its imaginative mythological creatures engaged in spirited warfare.
