Painting Description
"Fujiwara no Yasumasa Playing the Flute by Moonlight" is a renowned woodblock print created by Tsukioka Kinzaburo Yoshitoshi, also known as Yoshitoshi, who is considered one of the last great masters of the ukiyo-e genre of Japanese art. Completed in 1883 during the Meiji period, this print is part of Yoshitoshi's series "One Hundred Aspects of the Moon" (Tsuki hyakushi), which consists of 100 works that were produced between 1885 and 1892. Each print in the series illustrates various tales, legends, and historical events associated with the moon.
The artwork depicts a famous episode from Japanese history involving the Heian period courtier Fujiwara no Yasumasa (958-1036) who is shown playing his flute under a full moon. According to the legend, while Yasumasa was playing his flute one night, a bandit named Hakamadare Yasusuke approached with the intent to rob him. However, the bandit became so enchanted by the beautiful music that he abandoned his nefarious plan. The print captures this moment of tranquility and the transformative power of art.
Yoshitoshi's portrayal of this scene is notable for its atmospheric use of light and shadow, which creates a sense of both serenity and suspense. The composition, with the moonlit figure of Yasumasa in the foreground and the lurking figure of the bandit in the background, is a masterful example of storytelling through visual art. The print is also admired for its technical excellence and the emotional depth it conveys, reflecting Yoshitoshi's skill in blending traditional Japanese aesthetics with the influences of Western art that were becoming increasingly prevalent during the Meiji period.
"Fujiwara no Yasumasa Playing the Flute by Moonlight" is not only a highlight of Yoshitoshi's artistic career but also a significant cultural artifact that offers insight into the values and sensibilities of late 19th-century Japan. The print remains a subject of study for scholars of Japanese art and history and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and narrative power.
