EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant woodblock print, titled "The Flying Tea Ceremony Kettle (Tonda Chagama)" and created by Ippitsusai Buncho around 1770, captures a whimsical scene from the Edo period in Japan. In this charming artwork, we witness a unique fusion of tradition and imagination. At first glance, one cannot help but be captivated by the flying tea kettle with its enchanting wings. Suspended in mid-air above a bustling kitchen hearth, it adds an element of surprise and wonder to the domestic setting. The artist's skillful use of color brings life to every detail - from the intricate patterns on the ladle and utensils to the warm hues that envelop the room. Amidst this extraordinary spectacle, we find a mother diligently multitasking as she tends to her household chores. With mortar and pestle in hand, she effortlessly grinds ingredients while simultaneously keeping an eye on her mischievous child nearby. This portrayal highlights not only her dedication as a parent but also showcases women at work during this era. Buncho's creation invites us into a world where everyday tasks are infused with humor and creativity. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our daily routines, there is room for magic and joy. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to house it within their collection, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its ability to transport us into an alternate reality where anything seems possible.
