EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Composing Poems at Nakoso Customs House" transports us back to the Edo period in Japan. The image, a colour woodcut mounted on board, was created by Kunisada Utagawa (Toyokuni III) between 1786 and 1865. It now resides in the Dallas Museum of Art as a generous gift from Mr. and Mrs. Jerry Bywaters. The scene depicted showcases a group of samurais dressed in traditional attire, immersed in the art of composing poems. Set against a breathtaking East Asian landscape, these warriors find solace and inspiration within the walls of Nakoso Customs House. Each figure exudes an air of contemplation and focus as they carefully craft their verses. Their dedication to this poetic practice reveals not only their artistic sensibilities but also their deep connection to Japanese culture. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the rich heritage and traditions that shaped Japan during this era. The meticulous details captured by Kunisada Utagawa transport us to another time, allowing us to appreciate both the beauty of nature and the inner world of these samurais. As we admire this piece, let it serve as a reminder that art has always been an integral part of human expression across cultures and centuries – bridging gaps between past and present for generations to come.
