EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print captures the essence of the Ohitaki Festival in 1823, a traditional Japanese celebration that still holds great significance today. The image showcases a group of children immersed in the festivities, their joyful expressions and lively movements beautifully frozen in time. The colour woodblock technique used by artist Kazan Yokoyama adds depth and richness to this artwork. Each brushstroke seems to come alive, enhancing the overall sense of energy and excitement surrounding the festival. The intricate calligraphy displayed throughout the print further emphasizes its cultural importance, as writing plays a significant role in Japanese traditions. The children themselves become focal points within this composition, dressed in traditional attire that reflects their heritage. Their innocence is palpable as they engage with one another amidst an atmosphere filled with laughter and merriment. This snapshot into their world offers us a glimpse into both past and present Japan, reminding us of the enduring beauty found within its customs. Preserved at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts, this remarkable piece serves as a testament to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel H. Maslon's generosity for gifting it to be shared with art enthusiasts around the world. As we admire this enchanting scene from centuries ago, we are reminded of how art has always been an invaluable bridge connecting cultures across time and space
