EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Yama-uba with Kintaro" transports us to the enchanting world of Japanese folklore in the 19th century. Created by Totoya Hokkei, a renowned artist from the ukiyo-e artistic school, this woodcut masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image depicts Yama-uba, an allegorical figure known as the mountain witch, sitting gracefully under the moonlight. She is accompanied by Kintaro, a legendary character often portrayed as a strong and brave young boy. Both figures are dressed in vibrant kimonos adorned with intricate patterns that reflect their mythical origins. Hokkei's skillful use of color brings life to this scene, emphasizing the ethereal beauty of Yama-uba and Kintaro against a backdrop of night sky. The moon shines brightly above them, casting its gentle glow on their faces and creating an atmosphere filled with mystery and wonder. As we admire this fine art piece housed in the State A. Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts in Moscow, we can't help but be captivated by its rich cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of Japan's deep-rooted traditions and legends that have been passed down through generations. Through this woodcut print, Hokkei invites us to delve into the realm of myth and imagination while showcasing his mastery over technique and storytelling. This artwork truly stands as a testament to both his artistic prowess and Japan's enduring fascination with its folklore heritage
