EDITORS COMMENTS
Narihira's Servant Delivering a Letter to Takako" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned artist Katsukawa Shunsho in the eighteenth century during the Edo period of Japan. This exquisite artwork is part of the "Tales of Ise in Iroha Order" series and is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA). The print depicts a servant, identified as Narihira's servant, standing on an engawa (veranda) of a traditional Japanese house, delivering a letter to a woman named Takako. The servant, dressed in formal attire, holds the letter in one hand and shields himself from the sun with a large fan in the other. The woman, elegantly dressed and seated on the tatami mat floor, appears to be deep in thought as she receives the letter. The intricate details of the buildings and the natural surroundings in the background add depth and texture to the scene. The use of color and shading creates a sense of depth and dimension, transporting the viewer to the heart of Japan during the Tokugawa era. The print is a testament to the rich literary heritage of Japan, as it is based on the famous "Tales of Ise," a collection of poems and stories about the legendary poet Ariwara Narihira and his romantic encounters. The scene captures the essence of the servant's occupation and the importance of correspondence in a time before modern communication methods. This woodblock print is a masterpiece of Ukiyo-e art, showcasing the skill and creativity of Katsukawa Shunsho and the artisans who produced it. It is a valuable piece of Japanese cultural heritage that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
