EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kakkyo (Chinese: Guo Ju), from the series 'Fashionable Japanese Versions of the Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety (Furyu Yamato nijushiko)'", created by Isoda Koryusai in the 18th century, showcases a mesmerizing blend of art and culture. The image portrays three individuals, two women and an infant, dressed in traditional Japanese attire. The composition exudes elegance as the women kneel gracefully while serving tea during a tea ceremony. Their vibrant orange kimonos beautifully contrast against the beige background, adding a touch of warmth to the scene. The intricate details captured through color woodblock printing highlight every fold and pattern on their clothing. The artist's skillful execution brings life to this snapshot from ancient Japan. Each character is depicted with utmost precision, showcasing their delicate facial features and serene postures. A bird perched nearby adds an element of nature to this domestic setting. As we delve into this artistic masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness a moment that encapsulates both tradition and familial devotion. This piece not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into Japanese customs and heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this print is part of Isoda Koryusai's renowned series that reimagines traditional tales through fashionable interpretations. It stands as a testament to his mastery in ukiyo-e woodblock printing technique and his ability to capture moments that transcend time itself.
