A Hair-Raising Ukiyo-e Masterpiece 🇯🇵🎨

Utagawa Yoshifuji (1828–1887), a notable master of the ukiyo-e style, brings a fantastic and thrilling scene to life. A pupil of the legendary Utagawa Kuniyoshi, Yoshifuji was renowned for his omocha-e prints, whimsical pictures created specifically for children. This particular artwork, a strange and wonderful story titled Kamikiri no Kidan, or "Strange Story of the Hair-Cutting Demon," is a perfect example of his imaginative genius.

The print itself is a feast for the eyes. A dramatic scene unfolds with a demonic, ape-like figure menacing a woman, while two heroic figures in the background close in. But look closely: one of the figures is armed with a primitive yet powerful-looking light beam, an amazing anachronism for 1868. This fascinating detail shows the artist's engagement with modernity and the influence of Western technology during a time of great change in Japan. A fun fact: the demon, a kamikiri yokai, was a mythological creature said to cut off people’s topknots or ponytails without them noticing! The print's vibrant narrative and dynamic composition are a must-have for any discerning art lover.
