EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 18th century woodblock print, titled "The Ide Jewel River in Yamashiro Province (Yamashiro Ide no Tamagawa)" by Rekisentei Eiri, offers a captivating glimpse into the beauty and richness of Japan's cultural heritage. The print is part of an untitled series of Six Jewel Rivers, created around 1785. The scene unfolds at the mouth of the Ide River, located in the Kinai region of Japan, specifically in Yamashiro Province. Two women, dressed in elegant kimono, are seen admiring the river from the banks. One woman is mounted on a horse, her attendant following on foot. The horses, with their intricately designed harnesses and bridles, add to the overall grandeur of the scene. The Ide River, also known as the Jewel River, is depicted as a serene and picturesque body of water, with clear, sparkling water flowing gently over the rocks and pebbles at its mouth. The river's banks are lined with lush greenery, adding to the sense of tranquility and natural beauty. The print is a masterful example of the color woodblock printing technique, with intricate details and vibrant colors. The calligraphy, written in the top left corner, adds to the overall artistic value of the piece. The attire of the women, with their flowing kimono and traditional Japanese dress, provides a window into the fashion of the time. This print is a testament to the artistic prowess of Rekisentei Eiri, a renowned artist of the Edo period. It offers a glimpse into the geography, culture, and fashion of Japan during the 18th century, making it an invaluable addition to any collection of Asian art.
