EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Cormorant fishing at night" takes us back to the early 19th century in East Asia. Created by Gyodai, SatAc, a renowned Japanese artist from that era, this colour woodblock print measures 18.1x24.4 cm and is housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts. The image depicts a serene scene on a moonlit night as fishermen embark on their traditional cormorant fishing expedition. A small fleet of boats gracefully glides through the calm waters, guided by skilled fisherman who have trained these remarkable birds to assist them in their quest for an abundant catch. The composition beautifully captures the essence of East Asian culture with its delicate calligraphy adorning the sky above. The intricate strokes seem to narrate tales of ancient wisdom and harmonious coexistence between man and nature. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported into a world where time stands still – where tradition intertwines with innovation and tranquility envelops every corner. It serves as a reminder of the profound connection humans share with our natural surroundings and how it has shaped our history. This exquisite piece not only showcases Gyodai's artistic prowess but also offers us a glimpse into Japan's rich heritage of fishing techniques passed down through generations. It is truly an extraordinary testament to both human ingenuity and reverence for nature's bountiful gifts.
