EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork of "Momo chidori (Myriad birds), known as the Bird Book" by Utamaro, Kitagawa. Created in 1790 during the Edo period, this ukiyo-e masterpiece is housed at the Fitzwilliam Museum, University of Cambridge in the UK. The Bird Book consists of two volumes filled with kyōka verse and features fifteen stunning illustrations by Utamaro. Printed using woodblocks, each page is adorned with vibrant colors, intricate details, and delicate blind embossing. The addition of pipette-blown pigment adds a unique touch to these remarkable prints. Published by Tsutaya Jūzaburō in Edo (now Tokyo), this book represents a significant contribution to Japanese literature and art from the 18th century. The handwritten kyōka verses accompanying each illustration add depth and poetic beauty to this visual feast. Utamaro's talent shines through his masterful woodblock technique, capturing not only the essence but also the gracefulness of various bird species depicted within these pages. This work exemplifies Ukiyo-e's ability to merge different art forms seamlessly - combining poetry and imagery into one harmonious piece. As we admire this extraordinary photograph print from Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to appreciate both Utamaro's artistic brilliance and Japan's rich cultural heritage.
