EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricate woodblock print, titled "New Year Decoration and a Set of Bed-Clothing, 18th-19th century" transports us back to the artistic world of 18th and 19th-century Japan. Created by the talented Hachifusa Shuri, this polychrome masterpiece showcases his mastery in ukiyo-e printing. The composition features a beautifully patterned bedchamber adorned with New Year decorations, capturing the essence of celebration and renewal. The room is filled with an array of aquatic life, including crayfish and lobsters from the Nephropidae family. These creatures symbolize good fortune and longevity in Japanese culture. Shuri's attention to detail is evident in every element of this artwork. The floral patterns on the bedclothes add a touch of elegance while harmonizing with the overall color scheme. The use of ink and color on paper brings depth to each fish depicted, making them appear almost lifelike. As we admire this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported to another time – a glimpse into centuries past where artistry thrived alongside tradition. This print serves as a testament to Japan's rich heritage art scene during that era. Hachifusa Shuri's skillful craftsmanship shines through in this woodblock print surimono, showcasing his ability to capture still life scenes with precision and grace. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects like bedding can be transformed into works of art when placed in
