EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jurojin with cranes, a stag, and a tortoise" takes us back to the 18th century in Japan. Created by the talented artist Okumura Masanobu during the Edo period, this woodblock print showcases his mastery of ukiyo-e art. The image depicts Jurojin, one of the Seven Gods of Good Fortune in Japanese folklore. Standing amidst a serene landscape, Jurojin is accompanied by graceful cranes soaring through the sky above him. A majestic stag stands nearby while a wise tortoise rests at his feet. The presence of these animals symbolizes longevity and good luck. Masanobu's attention to detail is evident as he captures every intricate line and texture using sumizuri e technique on hosoban paper. The contrast between light and shadow adds depth to this ethereal scene. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported to a time when spirituality intertwined with nature and science. Jurojin represents not only luck but also wisdom and knowledge - attributes that were highly valued during the Tokugawa period. Displayed in an art gallery or museum like the Art Institute of Chicago, this piece serves as a reminder of Japan's rich artistic heritage. It invites viewers to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and cultural significance within Daoism (Taoism). Okumura Masanobu's legacy lives on through prints like these that continue to captivate audiences centuries later with their timeless charm
