EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the beauty and significance of books during Japan's Edo period (1615-1868). The image, captured by Artokoloro, transports us back to 19th century Japan, where polychrome woodblock prints like this were highly valued. The print features a stunning surimono - a type of privately commissioned print - created with meticulous attention to detail using ink and vibrant colors on delicate paper. Measuring at 5 3/8 x 7 1/4 inches (137 x 184 cm), it is a testament to the mastery of Ryuryukyo Shinsai, a renowned Japanese artist from the late Edo period. Books played an integral role in Japanese culture during this era, serving as both sources of knowledge and objects of aesthetic appreciation. This artwork captures that essence beautifully, showcasing various volumes neatly arranged alongside intricate patterns and motifs. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are transported into the world of classical literature and scholarly pursuits that defined Edo-period Japan. It invites us to explore the rich history and artistic traditions that flourished during this time. Artokoloro has skillfully preserved this snapshot from history through their lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the craftsmanship but also gain insight into an important era in Japanese art and culture.
