EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome woodblock print from the Edo period transports us back to early 18th century Japan, where love and intimacy were celebrated through art. Created by the talented Japanese artist Okumura Masanobu (1686-1764), this artwork titled "Amorous Couple" depicts a man and woman sitting on a veranda of a teahouse, engaged in an intimate exchange. The couple is portrayed with great attention to detail, their expressions conveying deep affection for one another. As they enjoy each other's company, both are seen smoking long pipes, adding an air of sophistication to the scene. The artist skillfully captures their connection and creates a sense of tranquility within the composition. Intriguingly, amidst this amorous moment, an errand boy turns his head as he passes by carrying a load of books. This subtle inclusion adds depth to the narrative and suggests that love can be found even in unexpected places. Throughout history, depictions of amorous couples have been a popular theme in ukiyo-e prints like this one. Such artworks not only served as visual entertainment but also reflected societal attitudes towards romance and relationships during that time. As we admire this exquisite print from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, we are reminded of the timeless nature of love and its ability to transcend cultural boundaries.
