EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Nikenjaya no Bosetsu, from the series 'Azuma Hakkei', c. 1769" by Ippitsusai Buncho, takes us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. The artwork showcases a picturesque winter scene with a woman gracefully navigating through the snow-covered countryside. Dressed in traditional clothing and donning an elegant kimono, she walks alongside her loyal canine companion. Her full-length dress flows beautifully as she carries a tray of delicious sushi and holds an umbrella to shield herself from the wintry weather. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece. From the intricate patterns on her clothing and pattens (platform shoes), to the delicate block printing technique used for each color, it is clear that this work was crafted with great skill and precision. The tranquil ambiance of this scene is further enhanced by the presence of sun blinds hanging above them, adding a touch of serenity amidst nature's elements. The use of soft colors creates a harmonious balance between warmth and coldness, capturing both the beauty and harshness of winter. As we admire this woodblock print at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to house such treasures, we are transported back in time to experience life during Japan's Tokugawa period. It serves as a reminder not only of our rich artistic heritage but also offers glimpses into daily life centuries ago – where tradition meets natural splendor in
