EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Grandmother telling Stories to the Children round the Brazier" we are transported back in time to 19th century Japan. The scene depicts a heartwarming moment as a wise and loving grandmother captivates her young audience with tales of old. Gathered around a cozy brazier, the children eagerly listen, their eyes wide with wonder. The artist beautifully captures the essence of Japanese culture and history in this image. The intricate details showcase traditional clothing worn by both the grandmother and children, highlighting their Asian heritage. It is evident that storytelling holds great significance in this community, as generations come together to pass down wisdom and preserve cultural traditions. This enchanting engraving was originally created as an illustration for William Elliot Griffis' book, "The Mikados Empire". Its inclusion in this private collection speaks to its artistic value and historical importance. Through its depiction of familial bonds and oral tradition, it reminds us of the power stories hold in shaping our identities and connecting us across generations. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the universal nature of storytelling – how it transcends time, language barriers, and geographical boundaries. It serves as a timeless reminder that no matter where we come from or what era we live in, sharing stories remains an essential part of our human experience.
