EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print by Utagawa Kuniteru, titled "Atarashii norimono, New forms of transportation" we are transported back to the bustling streets of 19th-century Japan. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings to life a vibrant scene showcasing various innovative modes of travel. The print showcases an array of human- and animal-drawn carts and carriages, each with its unique design and purpose. From elegant horse-drawn carriages adorned with intricate patterns to humble hand-pulled carts used for transporting goods, this artwork offers a glimpse into the diverse means of transportation available during that era. As our eyes wander through the composition, we are drawn towards the background where a majestic steamboat gracefully glides along a river. Its towering smokestacks emit plumes of white smoke, symbolizing progress and modernity in contrast to the traditional methods depicted in the foreground. Utagawa Kuniteru's masterful use of color adds depth and richness to every element within the print. Vibrant hues bring out the ornate details on each cart while subtly highlighting their significance in society at that time. This remarkable piece from 1871 not only serves as a visual delight but also provides valuable historical insights into Japan's evolving transportation landscape during the Meiji period. It is truly an exquisite representation of Utagawa Kuniteru's artistic prowess and his ability to capture both tradition and progress within one frame.
