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 the Edo period, showcases the artistic brilliance of the Katsukawa School. The print depicts the famous poet and courtier, Ariwara Narihira, presenting a model of a pheasant to a chancellor, who is shown in a thoughtful pose, crossing his legs indoors. The intricately designed kimono worn by Narihira is adorned with lime green and black patterns, while the chancellor's attire is a rich, dark color. The doors behind them suggest an interior setting, possibly a grand hall or a private chamber. The pheasant, a symbol of nobility and prosperity, is meticulously rendered in the print, with its feathers spread out in a lifelike manner. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the calligraphy-like brushwork used to depict the texture of the bird's feathers and the intricate patterns on the kimonos. This stunning work of art is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which combined the beauty of nature with the elegance of human fashion. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, providing a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this rare and exquisite piece in its collection, making it a must-see for anyone interested in the arts of Asia or the history of Japanese art.
