EDITORS COMMENTS
Picnic Party at Hagidera" is an exquisite oban triptych print by the renowned Japanese artist Katsukawa Shuncho, dating back to the late eighteenth century. This artwork transports us to the picturesque countryside of Japan during the Edo period, where a lively picnic party is unfolding in the serene beauty of Hagidera, a popular resort area. The print showcases a group of women and children enjoying a day out in the fresh air. In the foreground, a young girl attempts to catch a cricket, her concentration unbroken as she peers into a cage. Nearby, another woman puffs on a kiseru, a traditional Japanese tobacco pipe, while another plays the shamisen, a three-stringed musical instrument. The vibrant colors and intricate details of the print bring the rustic setting to life, with the women dressed in elegant kimonos and the children clad in simple, rural attire. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Churinsha, which flourished during the late Edo period. Katsukawa Shuncho, also known as Katsukawa Yubundo, was a leading figure in this school, known for his mastery of color and his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in Japan. The print's regionalism and focus on rural life reflect the changing social landscape of Japan during this period, as more and more people sought escape from the bustling cities to the tranquility of the countryside. This stunning artwork invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of life in eighteenth-century Japan, from the beauty of the natural world to the joy of shared experiences with loved ones.
