EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Rooster, Hen and Chicks" from the Edo Period. Created by renowned artist Ganku Kishi, this masterpiece is a stunning representation of ink and color on silk. Measuring 69.1 cm in size, it is housed at the prestigious Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution. The image depicts a rooster, hen, and their adorable chicks in an enchanting farmyard setting. The intricate feathering details bring these birds to life while symbolizing various virtues such as enlightenment and embodiment. Each stroke of calligraphy adds depth to this stylized portrayal. Ganku's skillful execution captures not only the physical beauty but also the symbolic significance of these creatures. The crowning glory lies in how he portrays each bird as an emblematic representation of virtue. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to evoking emotions and telling stories through visual expression. This photograph allows us to appreciate Ganku's talent while preserving Japanese heritage for generations to come.
