EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolour print by Mori Sosen, titled "Monkeys with pine saplings and butterfly" transports us back to the Edo period in Japan. The artwork, measuring 198x63.2 cm, is housed in the prestigious British Museum in London. In this delightful scene, a group of playful monkeys frolics amidst a lush natural setting. Clutching tiny pine saplings and surrounded by vibrant foliage, they seem to embody the harmony between nature and wildlife that was deeply valued during this era. A delicate butterfly flutters above them, adding an ethereal touch to the composition. Its presence symbolizes transformation and beauty within the cycle of life. The painting's maruyama shijo school style is evident through its intricate patterned border that frames the lively monkey antics. Sosen's attention to detail shines through as he captures each primate's fur texture with remarkable precision. As we gaze at this hanging scroll, we are transported into a world where animals take center stage alongside plants and insects—a celebration of Japan's rich natural history. It serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness with all living beings and invites us to appreciate their beauty. Thanks to bridgemanimages. com for making this stunning piece accessible for art enthusiasts worldwide—allowing us to admire Sosen's masterful brushwork while honoring his legacy beyond commercial use.
