Kamata
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from the sixteen-part series "A Record of a Journey to Enoshima" created by the renowned Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei in 1833. The print showcases a group of people, including a man and a woman, standing at the entrance of a gateway or fence, possibly marking the arrival at a significant location. The serene scene is depicted in vibrant colors, with the woman in a traditional Japanese robe, her hair styled in an elegant chignon, and the man in a simple, flowing kimono. The background is dominated by the rich, deep blue of the sea, with the green color of the land providing a striking contrast. The intricate details of the print are a testament to Hokkei's mastery of the ukiyo-e artistic style, which flourished in Japan during the nineteenth century. The calligraphy at the bottom left of the print identifies the title of the series and the artist's name, while the signature and seals of the publisher, Iwakubo Kinemon, are located at the bottom right. The print is a shikishiban surimono, a type of art print that was popular during the Edo period and often given as gifts or presented at social events. The image of Kamata is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan. It can be found in various art centres, galleries, and institutes around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study. The print's intricate details, vibrant colors, and historical significance make it a must-see for anyone interested in the arts of Asia and the nineteenth century.
