EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print by Kitao Shigemasa, titled "Two Women Feeding Fish" transports us to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. The Edo period artwork showcases two elegantly dressed women engrossed in their leisurely pastime of feeding goldfish in a beautifully adorned fishtank. The intricate details and delicate brushstrokes bring life to the aquatic scene, as the fish eagerly swim towards the surface to receive nourishment from their caretakers. Shigemasa's skillful use of ink and color on paper captures every nuance, creating a visually stunning composition that celebrates both nature and femininity. As we observe this heritage art piece, we are reminded of the importance placed on hobbies during this era. The act of tending to pets, such as these graceful goldfish, was not only a source of entertainment but also an expression of one's refined taste and appreciation for beauty. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this woodblock print offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture centuries ago. It reflects the ukiyo-e artistic school's influence on Shigemasa's work—a style known for its depiction of everyday life scenes with meticulous attention to detail. "Two Women Feeding Fish" is more than just an exquisite artwork; it serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with animals and our desire for connection with nature throughout history.
