EDITORS COMMENTS
U: Narihira Presents a Chancellor with a Model of a Pheasant" is a stunning woodblock print from the series "Tales of Ise in Fashionable Brocade Pictures" created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the mid-18th century. This artwork dates back to the Edo period of Japan, around 1772/73, and is a prime example of the Katsukawa School's artistic brilliance. The print depicts the famous poet and courtier, Ariwara no Narihira, presenting a model of a pheasant to a chancellor. Narihira is dressed in elegant kimono, his robe adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, including black and lime green. He sits cross-legged, his expression serious as he offers the model to the chancellor, who is also dressed in formal attire, seated behind a door. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable, from the intricate calligraphy adorning the walls to the ornate patterns on the clothing and the realistic depiction of the pheasant model. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the artwork, making it a visual feast for the eyes. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistic school of Katsukawa. It offers a glimpse into the fashion and lifestyle of the elite during the Edo period and is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, literature, or history. Whether displayed in an art center, art gallery, or art institute, this print is sure to captivate and inspire all who view it.
