EDITORS COMMENTS
Ru: Northern Province" is a captivating color woodblock print from the series "Tales of Ise in Fashionable Brocade Pictures" created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the mid-18th century. This stunning work of art, dating back to the Edo period (1603-1868), is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Katsukawa School. The print depicts a man and a woman, dressed in elegant traditional Japanese clothing, standing on a terrace overlooking a serene landscape. The man, wearing a kimono with a vibrant green color, is in the act of speaking to the woman, who is attired in a beautiful kimono adorned with intricate patterns. A rooster, perched on a koban (a traditional Japanese stone step), adds a touch of liveliness to the scene. The title "Ru: Northern Province" suggests that the location of the scene is in the northern part of Japan. The attention to detail in the print is remarkable, from the intricate calligraphy that adorns the borders to the lifelike depiction of the birds and the meticulously rendered clothing. This print is a prime example of the artistic school that emerged during the Tokugawa period (1603-1868), which emphasized the importance of individual expression and innovation in art. The use of bold colors and dynamic compositions set the Katsukawa School apart from its contemporaries, making it a significant contributor to the rich artistic heritage of Japan. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this exquisite work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of Japanese art from the 18th century. The print is a reminder of the enduring influence of Japanese art on global culture and the importance of preserving and celebrating our artistic heritage.
