EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a remarkable Japanese Netsuke from the 18th century, skillfully crafted by artist Gyoku-un. The intricately carved wooden artifact depicts two Shujo, or drunkards, capturing the essence of alcoholism and drunkenness in vivid detail. With its vibrant colors and lifelike portrayal, this image transports us back to a bygone era. The composition portrays two men sitting closely together, their expressions reflecting the effects of intoxication. Each minute detail on the Netsuke tells a story - from the carefully etched facial features to the folds in their clothing. This masterpiece not only serves as an artistic representation but also offers insight into societal attitudes towards drinking during that time period. Housed within the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum's collection of ornamental art, this historical gem is a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. Its presence in such esteemed surroundings further emphasizes its significance as an important cultural artifact. Photographed against a studio backdrop with meticulous precision by CM Dixon, this print captures every nuance of Gyoku-un's craftsmanship. Mike Dixon's expertise ensures that every color and texture is faithfully reproduced for viewers to appreciate. As we gaze upon this extraordinary piece, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and space; it allows us to explore different cultures while contemplating universal themes like human behavior and our relationship with alcohol.
