EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures a significant moment in history - the brewing of sake in seventh-century Japan. The print, created by Justin Hill in the 1920s, showcases the meticulous process involved in creating this traditional Japanese rice wine. Intriguingly, the scene depicts not only skilled brewers but also soldiers clad in elaborate costumes and armed with weapons. This suggests that sake production held great importance within Japanese society during this era, even intertwining with battles and military affairs. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he meticulously portrays each step of the brewing process. From steaming rice to fermenting it in large wooden barrels, every aspect is captured with precision and authenticity. The lithograph transports us back to a time when sake was not just a beverage but an integral part of Japanese culture and history. It serves as a reminder of how traditions evolve over centuries while retaining their essence. Preserved within private collections for decades, this print now resurfaces through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform. Its availability allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic merit. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are reminded of the rich tapestry woven by human ingenuity throughout time – where drinks like sake hold stories waiting to be discovered.
