EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Nikuhitsu ukiyo-e: Young Samurai and a Manservant as Mitate of Huanshigong and Zhang Lian". Created by the talented artist Moronobu, Hishikawa (c. 1618-1694) around 1690, this masterpiece is housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The image depicts a young samurai accompanied by his loyal manservant, embodying the concept of "mitate" which refers to the practice of comparing or imitating famous figures from history or literature. In this case, they are mirroring Huanshigong and Zhang Lian. Moronobu's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of Japanese culture during that era. The composition exudes elegance and grace while showcasing intricate patterns on their traditional garments. Measuring approximately 14 9/16 x 20 1/16 inches (37 x 51 cm), this artwork transports viewers into a world where honor and loyalty were paramount values. Its larger mount size further enhances its visual impact at an impressive scale of 49 7/16 x 24 5/8 inches (125.5 x 62.5 cm). Acquired through the generous bequest of Richard P. Gale, this Japanese treasure holds historical significance and cultural value for art enthusiasts worldwide. As we admire this Nikuhitsu ukiyo
