EDITORS COMMENTS
U: Narihira Presents a Chancellor with a Model of a Pheasant" is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Tales of Ise in Fashionable Brocade Pictures" created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the mid-18th century. This masterpiece, dating back to around 1772/73, showcases the artistic brilliance of the Katsukawa School. The print depicts the famous poet and courtier, Ariwara no Narihira, presenting a model of a pheasant to a chancellor. Narihira, dressed in elegant kimono and hakama, is shown crossing his legs indoors, possibly in the confines of a grand palace or a high-ranking official's residence. The chancellor, attired in formal courtier clothing, sits cross-legged on a tatami mat, his expression one of curiosity and intrigue as he examines the intricately detailed pheasant model held out by Narihira. The vibrant colors of the print, dominated by black, lime green, and other earthy tones, add to the richness and depth of the scene. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate calligraphy adorning the doors and the finely etched patterns on the clothing and accessories. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds a three-dimensional quality to the artwork, making it a true masterpiece of the Edo period. This stunning piece of art is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa and the enduring influence of Japanese literature and culture. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Asian art, fashion, or literature.
