A humorous woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, 'Farting at a Kappa at the Lumber Yard in Fukagawa' depicts a comical encounter between a man and a mythical water sprite in the Fukagawa district of Tokyo.
This woodblock print by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi (1839-1892), titled 'Farting at a Kappa at the Lumber Yard in Fukagawa', presents a humorous scene set in the Fukagawa lumber district of Tokyo. Yoshitoshi, a prominent figure in the late Ukiyo-e movement, is recognised for his ability to blend traditional Japanese artistic techniques with contemporary subject matter. This print exemplifies his skill in capturing everyday life with a touch of the fantastical. The composition depicts a man in a purple patterned robe, seemingly caught in the act of passing wind towards a Kappa, a mythical water sprite from Japanese folklore. The Kappa, rendered in green with a turtle-like shell and a distinctive dish on its head, recoils in apparent disgust. A young boy, also dressed in patterned clothing, watches the scene with a mixture of curiosity and apprehension. The backdrop features a lumber yard and a body of water, providing context to the location. The scene is rendered with fine lines and flat planes of colour, typical of Ukiyo-e prints. The artist's attention to detail, from the patterns on the clothing to the ripples in the water, adds depth and interest to the image.
