TSUKIOKA YOSHITOSHI. Fudo Myoo Threatening a Novice

Fudo Myoo Threatening a Novice. Artist: Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (Japanese, 1839-1892). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Overall (a): 14 3/4 x 10 in. (37.5 x 25.4 cm) Overall (b): 14 5/8 x 10 in. (37.1 x 25.4 cm) Overall (c): 14 15/16 x 10 1/16 in. (37.9 x 25.6 cm). Date: 1885. A legend about Abbot Yuten (1637-1718) of Zojoji Temple tells how, as a novice, he prayed for Fudo Myoo's aid to become a wise monk. He then dreamed that the statue of Fudo leaped down from its pedestal and made him swallow one of his swords; upon waking, he became an excellent cleric. In this scene, Fudo aims his sword at Yuten while the deity's attendants witness his magical power. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was one of the great innovators of Meiji ukiyo-e; here, his triptych features an airy, theatrical type of composition associated with his late style, with a hint of the violence that characterized many of his earlier works.
