EDITORS COMMENTS
The Three Sake-tasters, c1700 (1886) is a captivating print that offers a glimpse into the cultural and religious tapestry of 17th and 18th century Japan. This burlesque portrayal, based on an ancient picture, symbolizes the three major religions of Taoism, Buddhism, and Confucianism. The image showcases three individuals dressed in traditional Japanese attire - kimonos and hats - representing each respective religion. They are depicted engaging in the act of sake-tasting from barrels, highlighting the significance of alcohol as a common thread across these diverse belief systems. The print beautifully captures the essence of religious harmony within Japanese society during this period. The intricate details in their robes reflect the importance placed on dress and costume within these religious practices. Through this artwork, we are transported to a time when religion played a central role in shaping societal norms and values. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich spiritual heritage while also showcasing its artistic prowess. This particular print is part of 'The Pictorial Arts of Japan' collection by William Anderson, published in London in 1886. Its monochrome aesthetic adds depth to its historical appeal while Okumura Masanobu's engraving technique brings life to every line. 'The Three Sake-tasters' invites us to contemplate not only the beauty found within art but also how it can serve as a window into understanding cultures past.
