EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Syllable - We from the series Tales of Ise in Fashionable Brocade Prints" transports us to 18th century Japan. Created by Shunsho Katsukawa, a renowned artist of the time, this print measures 21.7x15.4 cm and is housed at the Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK. Part of a larger series depicting scenes from the classic 11th-century novel Tales of Ise, this particular print showcases a vibrant landscape with figures. A daimyo, or feudal lord, leads the way followed closely by two attendants; one even carries a banner. The group gracefully proceeds along the banks of a running stream adorned with pine trees and flowering prunus trees. The dominant color scheme ranges from green to yellow-green with hints of pale sepia brown and yellow ochre to pale orange. Clouds float above undulating ground in the background, adding depth to this picturesque scene. Atop each print within this series sits a single character enclosed in a circle—a unique touch that adds an element of intrigue and mystery. Immerse yourself in Japanese culture as you explore this exquisite woodblock print that beautifully captures both nature's beauty and human presence during Japan's Edo period (1603-1868). With its delicate details and rich colors, it serves as an enchanting window into another era.
