EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "No. 55, K?do: Cormorant Fishing Boats on the Nagae River" by Eisen, Keisai takes us back in time to witness a traditional fishing technique known as cormorant fishing. This stunning colour woodblock print showcases the serene beauty of the Nagae River at night. In this artwork, we see fishermen skillfully maneuvering their boats along the river while accompanied by a flock of cormorants. The flickering firelight illuminates the scene, casting an enchanting glow on both water and sky. The fishermen's smoking pipes add an element of tranquility to this nocturnal setting. Eisen masterfully captures the essence of this ancient practice that dates back centuries in Japan. The composition draws our attention to every detail - from the intricate patterns on the boats to the subtle reflections in the water. This print is part of a series called "The Sixty-nine Stations of Kisokaido Road" which depicts various scenes along this historic route. Published by Takenouchi Magohachi, it exemplifies Eisen's artistic prowess and his ability to transport viewers into another world through his prints. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in UK, this piece serves as a testament to Japanese culture and its deep connection with nature. It reminds us of traditions that have stood against time and continue to inspire awe even today.
