Attending Doctor Warrior Wound Woodblocks Woodcuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this Ukiyo-e triptych from 1853, we witness a pivotal moment in the story of Chinese Baron Kan-u and the renowned Doctor Huatuo. The scene unfolds in the traditional Japanese setting of a serene interior, where the atmosphere is filled with an air of quiet concentration and the weight of importance. At the center of the composition, Doctor Huatuo, with his distinguished appearance and focused expression, attends to the wounded arm of the brave warrior Guanyu. The doctor's deft hands manipulate the bandages and surgical tools with precision and care, while his assistant holds a lantern to provide adequate light for the procedure. The intricate details of the woodblock print reveal the meticulous nature of the medical practice during this era, as well as the doctor's expertise and dedication to his craft. In the left panel, Baron Kan-u, dressed in the regal attire of a Chinese nobleman, sits calmly at a go board, seemingly unfazed by the sight of his comrade's injury. The game of go, a strategic and intellectual pursuit, symbolizes the warrior's resilience and mental fortitude, even in the face of adversity. On the right, the Baron Shujo observes the scene with a thoughtful expression. His presence adds a layer of authority and support, emphasizing the significance of the moment and the importance of the doctor's role in the warrior's recovery. This exquisite woodcut print, with its intricate details and evocative narrative, transports us back to a time when the art of medicine was a revered and deeply respected practice. It is a testament to the enduring power of art to capture the essence of human experiences and emotions, and to preserve them for generations to come.
