Today we are exploring the awesome artist from Japan known to the world as Utugawa Kuniyoshi. He is well known for his incredible woodblock prints, a true master indeed. We will go into a short blog about how his work still has relevance and appreciation from Art enthusiasts from around the globe.
His Suikoden series tells of rebels who dwell outside society's rules, yet fight for the folk downtrodden. Over one hundred rogues took refuge in Liangshan Marsh, much like English outlaws in Sherwood Forest. Though Chinese tales be their muse, themes of aiding the afflicted ring true in any land. Stories of warriors battling against their oppressors have always rang true in the hearts of Soul searchers and Spiritual outlaws.
