EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating colour woodblock print, titled "Fishmonger, pub. c1780" transports us back to the bustling fish markets of 18th-century Japan. Created by the talented artist Kiyonaga Torii, this exquisite piece from The Stapleton Collection captures the essence of daily life in a vivid and detailed manner. In this scene, we are introduced to a female fishmonger skillfully navigating her way through an array of rope baskets filled with an assortment of fresh catches. Her yoke rests comfortably on her shoulders as she effortlessly carries these treasures for sale. Nearby, a male fisherman is seen engaged in conversation with another customer, adding to the lively atmosphere. The market itself is teeming with activity - customers eagerly inspecting their options while others negotiate prices or simply admire the variety on display. The attention to detail in depicting not only human figures but also various species of fish adds depth and realism to this artwork. Through this print, Kiyonaga invites us into a world where nature's bounty meets human commerce. It serves as a reminder of our connection to wildlife and how it sustains our livelihoods. This timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers today with its vibrant colours and intricate composition. Displayed proudly in any art collection or gallery space, "Fishmonger" offers an immersive glimpse into Japanese culture during the Edo period while celebrating both artistic mastery and everyday life's beauty.
