EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricate woodblock print, titled "Parody of Prince Genji and his procession" captures the essence of 18th-century Japan during the Edo period. Created by Rekisentei Eiri, a renowned artist of that time, this polyptych artwork showcases a lively scene filled with rich cultural details. In this image, we witness the arrival of Prince Genji and his entourage in a rural countryside setting. The procession is led by an ornate bullock cart adorned with colorful fabrics and grains, symbolizing abundance and prosperity. The prince himself can be seen at the center, elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire, gesturing gracefully to his followers. The composition beautifully portrays various individuals from different walks of life: men and women engaged in their respective occupations along the road transport route. From blind musicians playing enchanting melodies to farmers tending to their fields, each character adds depth to this visual narrative. Eiri's masterful use of color brings vibrancy to every detail - from the vivid clothing worn by each person to the lush greenery surrounding them. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into Japanese heritage art. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this remarkable piece invites viewers on a journey through time while celebrating Japan's rich artistic tradition. It offers us a glimpse into centuries past when processions like these were common sights across Japan's picturesque landscapes.
