14th Century Bowl Bradley Smith Eating Feudal Japan Handscroll Japan Japanese Kimono Lacquer Meal Muromachi Paper Rice Samurai Scroll Sake
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 14th-century Japanese painting, we are transported to the feudal era of Japan, where samurai warriors indulge in a meal of rice served by an elegant woman. The scene is depicted on a beautifully painted scroll, showcasing the exquisite artistry and attention to detail that defined this period. Seated around a low table, the samurai can be seen enjoying their meal with utmost grace and composure. Each warrior holds a lacquer bowl filled with steaming rice, symbolizing sustenance and strength. Their traditional attire - kimono robes adorned with intricate patterns - adds vibrancy to the composition while reflecting their status as noble warriors. The woman serving sake stands gracefully beside them, her presence adding an air of refinement to the scene. Sake, a traditional Japanese rice wine known for its smoothness and flavor, further enhances the dining experience for these esteemed men. This handscroll painting not only captures a moment in time but also offers us insight into the cultural practices and customs prevalent during feudal Japan's Muromachi period. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and historical artifact that allows us to appreciate the rich heritage of Japanese cuisine and social dynamics. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork from Granger Art on Demand's Carousel Collection by Bradley Smith, we are reminded of how food unites people across time and cultures – even mighty samurais find solace in sharing a simple meal together.
