EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to a serene river scene from the 16th century Japan. The image, originally engraved by Kano Motonobu, showcases his exceptional talent as an artist during this period. The print is featured in the renowned book "The Pictorial Arts of Japan" by William Anderson, published in London in 1886. In this picturesque landscape, we are transported to the banks of a tranquil river surrounded by lush vegetation and towering trees. The monochrome palette adds depth and mystery to the composition while highlighting every intricate detail captured by Motonobu's skilled hand. As we explore this ancient Japanese countryside, our eyes are drawn to a variety of birds gracefully gliding across the water's surface. Among them is a majestic duck that stands out with its elegant presence amidst nature's beauty. This artwork not only captures the essence of Japanese art but also provides us with a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. It reminds us of the harmonious relationship between humans and nature that has been cherished throughout centuries. Through this remarkable photo print, we can appreciate both Motonobu's artistic prowess and William Anderson's dedication to preserving these invaluable pieces for generations to come. It serves as a testament to how art transcends time, allowing us to connect with different eras and immerse ourselves in their unique beauty.
