Three Crows against the Rising Sun - A Captivating Blend of Artistry and Astronomy
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This mesmerizing woodblock print, titled "Three Crows against the Rising Sun" captures a breathtaking moment from Totoya Hokkei's renowned series, Three Sheets (Mihira no uchi). Created in the mid-1810s during Japan's Edo period, this masterpiece showcases Hokkei's exceptional talent and his deep appreciation for nature. In this composition, three crows gracefully perch on a branch silhouetted against a vibrant rising sun. The contrast between the black-and-white palette and the radiant hues of dawn evokes a sense of awe-inspiring beauty. As we gaze at these avian creatures basking in sunlight, we are reminded of their symbolic significance in Japanese culture – often associated with wisdom and mystery. Hokkei skillfully combines art with astronomy as he incorporates celestial elements into his work. The rising sun symbolizes hope, new beginnings, and endless possibilities. Its warm glow illuminates not only the sky but also our hearts. As part of an album of woodblock prints surimono from the 19th century, this piece represents an important chapter in Japanese heritage art. It exemplifies Hokkei's mastery over ink and color on paper technique while showcasing his artistic school's influence. Displayed proudly within The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection today, this woodblock print invites us to contemplate both nature's splendor and humanity's connection to it.
