EDITORS COMMENTS
Heating Sake with Maple Leaves" (Kanzake momijigari), no. 9 from Okumura Masanobu's series of 12 prints, is a captivating work of art that showcases the beauty of the 18th century Japanese lifestyle. This woodblock print, created around 1716/35, is a visual feast of parody, nature, and the arts. The scene portrays a group of people gathered outdoors, enjoying a warm autumn day. In the center, a man in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a kimono and a wide-brimmed hat, pours sake into a large, ornate pot heated over an open fire. The pot is adorned with intricate designs and is surrounded by maple leaves, adding a touch of autumnal charm to the scene. To the left, a woman in a stunning kimono, with a delicate obi belt, plays the samisen, a three-stringed musical instrument, while another man, dressed in a simple outfit, listens intently. The serene expression on their faces and the peaceful setting convey a sense of harmony and contentment. The print is a masterpiece of hand-colored woodblock printing, with intricate details and subtle shading that bring the scene to life. The use of black and white, with selective coloring, adds depth and contrast, making the maple leaves stand out against the muted background. Okumura Masanobu, a renowned artist of the time, is known for his artistic school, Oban Sumizuri-e, which specialized in large-format prints. This print is a testament to his skill and creativity, as he masterfully captures the essence of the Japanese culture and the beauty of the natural world. The "Heating Sake with Maple Leaves" print is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts, fashion, or the history of Japan. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world.
