EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Lacquer Box for Clothes, dating back to the 19th century. Created by the talented artist Shinsai, this piece is a true testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of that era. The lacquered box, adorned with intricate designs and vibrant colors, stands as a symbol of Japan's rich artistic heritage. The box itself serves as both storage and decoration, reflecting the Edo period's fascination with practical yet aesthetically pleasing furniture. Its polychrome woodblock print surimono depicts a still life scene featuring clothing and other items typically found in such boxes. Located at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manno, Japan, this piece is part of their esteemed collection dedicated to preserving and showcasing Japanese art from the 19th century. The use of ink and color on paper adds depth and texture to Shinsai's work, bringing it to life before our eyes. As we admire this remarkable creation by Shinsai Ryuryukyo (also known as Hanjiro Masayuki), we are transported back in time to an era where ukiyo-e prints were highly valued for their beauty and cultural significance. This photograph captures not only the physical beauty of the lacquer box but also its historical importance within Japanese art history. With its meticulous details and masterful execution, this Lacquer Box for Clothes remains an enduring symbol of Japan's artistic legacy that continues to inspire awe today.
