Original Description
The woodblock print Der Knabe Kintaro In Zeremoniellem Gewand Vertreibt Einen Zusammengerollten Teufel Mit Bohnen Zum Neuen Jahr by Utagawa Kuniyoshi is a striking example of ukiyo-e artistry from Japan's Edo period. Depicting the folk hero Kintaro (the "Golden Boy") in ceremonial garb, the composition vibrates with lively energy as he scatters beans to ward off an evil spirit—a New Year's exorcism ritual (Setsubun). Kuniyoshi’s dynamic style shines through the bold contrasts: Kintaro’s ornate kimono, rich with intricate patterns, clashes against the grotesque, coiled demon rendered with exaggerated ferocity. The piece reflects Kuniyoshi’s flair for dramatizing mythologies and his influence on musha-e (warrior prints), bridging traditional symbolism with vivid storytelling. As part of the Yōkai (supernatural beings) thematic trend, this work underscores Kuniyoshi’s mastery in balancing whimsy and intensity, cementing his status as a pivotal figure in late ukiyo-e who inspired generations of artists, including Western Japonisme movements.
For a modern space, this print’s vibrant energy demands careful placement. Its ideal setting would be a study or zen-inspired lounge, where its folklore narrative sparks conversation. Frame it in a slender black lacquer border to honor its Edo roots, or opt for a minimalist floating frame to bridge traditional and contemporary aesthetics. The rich indigos, reds, and golds in the artwork pair elegantly with warm wood tones or deep navy walls, while its vertical format (typical ōban size, ~39 x 26 cm) suits narrow walls or a focal point above a low console. Avoid cluttering nearby decor—let the print’s dynamism stand out alongside restrained elements like a Ikebana arrangement or wabi-sabi ceramics. In offices, it symbolizes resilience (Kintaro’s triumph), making it apt for creative studios or executive spaces seeking cultural depth with bold visual impact.
