EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century print, titled "Flounder and Other Fishes" is a masterpiece created by the renowned Japanese artist Kubo Shunman. Part of the Edo period's ukiyo-e artistic school, this polychrome woodblock print surimono showcases Shunman's exceptional talent in capturing aquatic life with ink and color on paper. The image depicts a mesmerizing still life composition featuring various fishes, prominently showcasing a flounder. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these marine creatures to life, evoking a sense of awe and admiration for Japan's rich seafood heritage. Shunman skillfully captures the essence of fishing culture during the 19th century, highlighting its significance as both an art form and a means of sustenance. This artwork serves as a visual testament to Japan's deep connection with nature and its abundant coastal resources. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this print stands as a testament to Shunman's mastery in woodblock printing techniques. Its presence within the museum allows visitors to immerse themselves in Japanese history while appreciating the beauty that lies within traditional art forms. "Flounder and Other Fishes" not only celebrates the beauty of aquatic life but also pays homage to Shunman's immense contribution to Japanese art. It serves as an enduring reminder of his legacy as one of Japan's most esteemed artists from the 19th century.
