EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to 19th century Japan, immersing us in the world of traditional hunting. The scene depicts a thrilling moment as beaters energetically chase after deer, boars, and rabbits, skillfully herding them towards waiting samurai hunters. This woodblock print from the mid-1800s was masterfully created by Kitagawa Utamaro during the Edo period. The image showcases the intricate details of this ancient practice, highlighting both the bravery of the samurai and their reliance on teamwork. As we observe closely, we can almost feel the tension in the air as these skilled warriors prepare to strike with their spears. The composition is visually striking; it captures not only a snapshot of hunting but also provides a glimpse into Japanese culture at that time. The print transports us to an era where men were deeply connected to nature and relied on their skills for survival. Through this artwork, Utamaro invites us to reflect upon our relationship with nature and how it has evolved over time. It serves as a reminder of our primal instincts while showcasing Japan's rich history and artistic heritage. This print is part of Bradley Smith's Carousel Collection - an exquisite assortment that celebrates diverse cultures through art forms spanning centuries. Its inclusion in this collection ensures its preservation for generations to come so that we may continue appreciating its historical significance without commercial intent or exploitation.
