EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a seated statue of Basho, an iconic figure from the Edo Period in Japan. Crafted out of wood by the skilled hands of Ran-Koo in the 17th century, this sculpture now resides at the Musee Historique des Tissus in Lyon, France. Basho, also known as Matsuo Munefusa, was a renowned Japanese poet who lived from 1644 to 1694. In this portrait-like representation, he is depicted wearing traditional attire and donning a distinctive hat that adds an air of mystery to his presence. The artist has captured him deep in thought or meditation, with his eyes closed and hands gently resting on his lap. The image exudes tranquility and invites viewers to contemplate alongside Basho as he delves into profound introspection. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of taking time for reflection and finding inner peace amidst life's chaos. With its timeless appeal and artistic finesse, this photograph not only pays homage to one of Japan's greatest literary figures but also offers us a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of both Japan and France. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are transported across time and space to appreciate the beauty that transcends borders and connects us all through art.
