Artwork Details
The warrior monk who lied to save his lord. Benkei was a mountain of a man - former soldier-priest, collector of swords, utterly devoted to Minamoto no Yoshitsune. When his master became a fugitive, Benkei disguised them both as wandering monks and talked their way through enemy checkpoints with nothing but nerve and a forged document.
Kuniyoshi's portrait captures him at the barrier station - that dangerous moment in Kanjinchō where everything hangs on performance. Wrapped in a massive striped robe, bare feet planted, Benkei glances back with calculated intensity. One wrong word means death for them both. And when suspicion grows too heavy, he does the unthinkable: strikes his own master to sell the deception. This is loyalty that breaks every rule to keep one promise.
The actor Ichikawa Danjūrō VIII (八代目市川團十郎) as Musashibō Benkei (武蔵坊弁慶), from the kabuki production Kanjinchō (勧進帳, The Subscription List) 1849.
Utagawa Kuniyoshi (歌川国芳, 1798-1861)
