EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "Two Carps" transports us to pre-1912 Japan. Created by the talented artist Koson, Ohara (1877-1945), this exquisite piece is now housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. The image showcases two vibrant carps gracefully swimming amidst a serene aquatic environment. The intricate details and vivid colors bring these majestic creatures to life, capturing their beauty and elegance. As they glide through the water, creating delicate ripples on its surface, one cannot help but be mesmerized by their presence. Published by Kawaguchi JirAc. , this artwork reflects the traditional Japanese art form known as shin hanga. It embodies elements of Meiji-era aesthetics and kachō e (bird-and-flower painting) style prevalent during that time. Measuring 23.5 x 25 cm for the image and 27 x 28.5 cm for the sheet size, this print showcases not only Koson's artistic prowess but also his deep appreciation for nature and wildlife. The carps symbolize good fortune and resilience in Asian culture while serving as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still admire this remarkable work today. Gifted to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts by Paul Schweitzer, it continues to inspire viewers with its timeless charm and serves as a testament to Koson's mastery in capturing nature's essence through artistry.
