EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Bonsai Plum Compass Pocket Sundial Design Calendar, meticulously crafted during the Edo period in Japan. Created in 1806 and privately published as polychrome woodblock prints, this artwork is part of the renowned Surimono album called "Harusame Surimono Jō" volume 3. The image features a delicate bonsai plum tree surrounded by vibrant spring rain, symbolizing renewal and growth. The inclusion of a compass and pocket sundial adds an intriguing element to this design, representing navigation and the passage of time. Privately commissioned by poets and poetry groups, these prints were commonly used as New Year greeting cards adorned with witty thirty-syllable verses known as kyōka. Each print was carefully inscribed with felicitous imagery connected to the arrival of spring on the first day of the lunar calendar month. Measuring approximately 5 1/2 x 7 1/4 inches (14 x 18.4 cm), this mounted artwork beautifully combines ink and color on paper to create a visually striking composition. The artist behind this masterpiece is Ryuryukyo Shinsai, a prominent Japanese figure from the late eighteenth century to early nineteenth century. With its intricate details and cultural significance, this Artokoloro print captures both the artistic mastery of traditional Japanese woodblock printing techniques and the poetic essence that permeated every aspect of life during Japan's Edo period.
