Low Tide at Susaki - A Set of Five (Shiohi goban no uchi), c. 1828/30
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi takes us back to the Edo period in Japan, where we witness a scene of bustling activity along the coast. The artwork is part of a polyptych series that beautifully captures the essence of low tide at Susaki. In this vibrant composition, fisherwomen and children with bare feet are seen digging into the sandy beach, their baskets ready to be filled with an abundance of marine treasures. With skilled hand gestures, they gather cockles, flounders, and other shellfish while keeping an eye out for octopuses lurking beneath the surface. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element: from the intricate patterns on their garments to the delicate color woodblock prints that bring life to each figure. The coastal landscape stretches before our eyes as waves gently lap against the shore. Kuniyoshi masterfully captures not only a snapshot of daily life but also conveys a sense of leisure and connection with nature. This piece serves as a testament to both his artistic skill and his ability to transport viewers through time and space. Displayed within renowned art institutions such as The Art Institute Chicago, this heritage artwork continues to captivate audiences today. It reminds us of Japan's rich artistic tradition and its deep-rooted relationship with aquatic life—a true masterpiece that stands as a testament to Kuniyoshi's legacy in Japanese art history.
