EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Konami's Bridal Journey, 1836" takes us on a visual voyage back to the enchanting Edo period in Japan. Created by an unknown artist and later enhanced by Ando Hiroshige and Edward F Strange, this masterpiece belongs to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life a scene from Chushingura, a famous Japanese literature piece. The print depicts Konami, a beautiful bride, embarking on her journey through nature towards her new life as a married woman. Dressed in an exquisite traditional costume of the 19th century, she stands gracefully under the shade of a majestic tree. As we admire this artwork, we are transported to a time when travel was not just about reaching destinations but also about embracing the beauty of one's surroundings. The delicate plants surrounding Konami symbolize growth and fertility while adding depth to the composition. Through this print, we catch glimpses of Japan's rich cultural heritage and its deep connection with nature. It serves as both an ode to femininity and marriage during that era. Preserved for generations by collectors such as Edward F Strange and appreciated by art enthusiasts worldwide today thanks to The Print Collector collection; it is evident that this work continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm.
