EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite beauty of Roll Cloth Obi Tortoise-shell Hair Ornaments, a beloved accessory during Japan's Edo period. Privately published by Artokoloro, these polychrome woodblock prints were often commissioned by poets and poetry groups to be included in New Year greeting cards. The prints commonly featured witty thirty-syllable verses known as kyōka, inscribed with felicitous imagery connected to the arrival of spring. In this particular piece from the Butterfly Series titled "Spring Rain" we are transported back in time to witness the delicate craftsmanship and attention to detail that defined Japanese art during this era. The mounted album captures the essence of elegance through ink and color on paper, measuring 5 7/8 x 7 9/16 inches (149 x 192 cm). The artist behind these stunning prints is Ryuryukyo Shinsai, a renowned Japanese painter who lived from 1799-1823. His talent shines through as he masterfully depicts the intricate patterns and textures of both cloth obis and tortoiseshell hair ornaments. As we admire this artwork, we can't help but appreciate how it serves as a visual representation of cultural traditions passed down through generations. It reminds us of Japan's rich history and its deep appreciation for artistry that transcends time.
