EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodblock print by Katsukawa Shuntei, titled 'Restaurant Specializing in Eel,' dates back to the early 19th century, circa 1804-1810. The print showcases a bustling scene of a traditional Japanese eel restaurant. Four people, dressed in intricately patterned kimonos, are seen enjoying their meal. The two women wear elegant, pink kimonos with delicate floral designs, while the men don more subdued, striped clothing. In the background, a waitress in a simple, yet elegant, blue kimono serves customers, carrying a tray of freshly prepared eels. The eels, displayed in a large wooden tub, are a vibrant contrast to the muted tones of the clothing and background. The eels are adorned with roses and other decorative elements, adding to the overall aesthetic of the print. The intricate details of the clothing, the busy scene of the restaurant, and the attention given to the eels all serve to highlight the importance of both the culinary and fashion traditions of Japan during this period. This woodblock print is a prime example of the Ukiyo-e style, which was popular in Japan during the 18th and 19th centuries. The print was created using the traditional woodblock printing technique, which involved carving the design into wooden blocks and then pressing ink onto paper using those blocks. The result is a beautifully detailed and colorful work of art that captures a moment in time and offers a glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the 19th century.
