EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment in time, showcasing the artistry of Katsukawa Shuncho's "Woman serving tea" from 1790. The image transports us to the peaceful shores of a picturesque lake, where guests are seated on benches, enjoying the tranquility of their surroundings. Dressed in traditional Japanese kimonos, they exude elegance and grace. The woman at the center of attention is meticulously pouring tea from an exquisite teapot into delicate cups with utmost precision, demonstrating her mastery of the revered tea ceremony. Her poise and attentiveness reflect both her role as a hostess and her commitment to hospitality. Surrounded by lush gardens and an ornamental pond, this scene epitomizes relaxation and harmony with nature. The vibrant colors bring life to every detail - from the rich hues of the guests' clothing to the vivid greenery that envelops them. Published in Louise Norton Brown's "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" this artwork bridges two centuries: it was created during Japan's Edo period but made its way into our modern world through its inclusion in Brown's book published by George Routledge & Sons Ltd. , E. P. Dutton & Co. , London, and New York in 1924. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic beauty but also of Japan's cultural heritage and timeless traditions that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
