EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Monkey, 1720" transports us back to the vibrant artistic world of 18th-century Japan. Created by Tachibana Morikuni, a renowned artist from the Edo period, this woodblock print is part of the iconic "Ehon Shaho Bukuro" (Treasure-bag Picture Book), which was published in 1720. The image showcases a playful monkey captured with incredible detail and precision. The intricate lines and delicate shading bring out the primate's mischievous nature, making it come alive on paper. As we gaze at this monochrome masterpiece, we can't help but marvel at Morikuni's skillful execution and his ability to capture the essence of this lively creature. Louise Norton Brown's book "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" provides valuable insights into Morikuni's artistic school and sheds light on the historical context surrounding this extraordinary piece. Published in 1924 by George Routledge & Sons Ltd. , this volume serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of Japanese art across centuries. With its timeless charm, "Monkey, 1720" continues to captivate viewers today. It reminds us of our connection with nature and invites us to appreciate both the beauty found within animals and their representation through art. This remarkable woodblock print stands as an exquisite example of ukiyo-e tradition that has left an indelible mark on art history worldwide.
