EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lobster, Hamayumi (Ceremonial Miniature Bow) with Arrows and Fans" transports us back to the 18th-19th century in Japan. Created by renowned artist Kubo Shunman during the Edo period, this polychrome woodblock print surimono showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The image features a vibrant lobster placed alongside a ceremonial miniature bow known as Hamayumi. The delicate balance between these two elements symbolizes the harmony between aquatic life and traditional Japanese artistry. Surrounding them are beautifully depicted arrows and fans, adding an air of elegance to the composition. Shunman's use of ink and color on paper brings out the rich hues of this still life arrangement, capturing our imagination with its lifelike portrayal. The intricate printing technique employed in ukiyo-e style further enhances the visual appeal, making it a true masterpiece of heritage art. Currently housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exquisite piece is a testament to Shunman's contribution to Japanese artistic tradition. Its presence serves as a reminder of centuries-old craftsmanship that continues to inspire contemporary artists today. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are transported not only through time but also into a world where nature intertwines seamlessly with human creativity – an enduring legacy captured within this single frame by Kubo Shunman.
