EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Fox Dance" created by Kiyomasu II, Torii during the Edo period in Japan, we are transported to a world of enchantment and movement. The image showcases two men engaged in an elegant dance, their graceful gestures beautifully captured through intricate lines and delicate details. The figures exude a sense of energy and rhythm as they sway with precision and skill. Their flowing garments add to the dynamic composition, emphasizing the fluidity of their movements. The artist's mastery is evident in every stroke, bringing life to these characters frozen in time. Beyond the dance itself, there is another element that adds intrigue to this artwork - a fox. A symbol often associated with cunningness and mystique in Japanese folklore, it appears as if the fox is observing or perhaps even guiding the dancers' steps. Its presence adds an air of mystery and symbolism to an already mesmerizing scene. Accompanying this visual feast is Japanese calligraphy adorning the top portion of the print. These written characters further enhance our understanding of cultural context while adding yet another layer of artistic expression. This exquisite woodcut on Japanese paper now resides within the esteemed collection at Dallas Museum of Art in Texas, USA thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Alfred L. Bromberg's generous gift through Foundation for Arts Collection. It serves as a testament not only to Kiyomasu II's talent but also as a window into East Asian art history for all who lay eyes upon it.
