EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Trees Encoiled in Vines of Ivy (Yadorigi), early 17th century" transports us to the enchanting world of ancient Japan. The image showcases a mesmerizing scene from the Edo period, between 1615 and 1868, where Kaoru, raised as Genji's son, finds solace in his bed chamber nestled amidst the hills of Uji. The composition is rich with vibrant colors that bring life to every element captured on paper. The golden hues beautifully accentuate the intricate details of the trees encoiled in lush vines of ivy, creating a harmonious blend between nature and man-made artistry. As we delve into this panoramic view, our eyes are drawn to Kaoru lying peacefully on his bed while being shielded from the evening wind by an elegant screen. A maidservant attends to him diligently, adding depth to this portrayal of daily life during that era. The hanging scroll adorning the room further enhances its aesthetic appeal with delicate ink strokes depicting scenes from "Genji Monogatari" a renowned Japanese literary masterpiece. This artwork pays homage to Tawaraya Sotatsu's exceptional talent and serves as a testament to his contribution in preserving cultural heritage through art. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece invites us into a world where tradition meets beauty. It reminds us not only of Japan's rich artistic legacy but also how nature intertwines seamlessly with human existence throughout
