EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating woodblock print, titled "Empress Jingu (left), and Her Minister Takenouchi no Sukune (right)" showcases the exquisite artistry of Katsukawa Shun'ei during the late 18th century. Measuring at 16.7 x 24.8 cm, this koban-sized print is housed in The Art Institute of Chicago. The artwork depicts two prominent figures from ancient Japanese history against a backdrop of a serene riverbank. On the left stands Empress Jingu, an influential female ruler known for her military prowess and leadership skills. She exudes power and grace with her regal attire and commanding presence. To her right stands Takenouchi no Sukune, a trusted minister who played a crucial role in advising Empress Jingu during her reign. He is depicted holding a weapon, symbolizing his dedication to protecting the empress and their nation. The color palette used by Shun'ei adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, highlighting both the natural beauty of Japan's riverscape as well as the rich cultural heritage represented by these historical figures. This artwork not only captures an important moment in Japanese history but also exemplifies Shun'ei's mastery of traditional woodblock printing techniques. Through this piece, viewers are transported back to the Edo period, immersing themselves in both political intrigue and artistic excellence that defined this era.
