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 Japanese artist Shunsho around 1772/73. This exquisite work of art, a masterpiece of the Katsukawa School, showcases a man and a woman standing on a terrace overlooking a serene landscape. The man, dressed in a formal kimono, is depicted in a thoughtful pose, speaking to a cockerel perched on a koban (stone step). The woman, dressed in an elegant kimono adorned with intricate patterns, listens intently to the man's words. The title "Ru: Northern Province" refers to the location of the scene, which is believed to be set in the northern part of Japan. The green color dominating the print represents the lush vegetation and the tranquility of the countryside. The use of calligraphy in the print adds to its artistic value, with the syllables "Ru" and "Northern Province" elegantly written in the top left corner. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo and Tokugawa periods, showcasing the intricate details of Japanese clothing and the beauty of the natural world. The inclusion of a rooster in the scene is significant, as it is a symbol of dawn and the beginning of a new day. Overall, "Ru: Northern Province" is a stunning example of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and a reminder of the beauty and complexity of its past. This print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
