EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "Hawking Party, 1807" by Hyakusai Hisanobu takes us back to the Edo period in Japan. The scene depicts a group of elegant women enjoying a leisurely hawking expedition amidst a stunning landscape. Standing and sitting gracefully, these beauties are dressed in traditional kimonos that add to the charm of this artwork. The triptych format allows for a panoramic view, showcasing not only the women but also their attendant and majestic bird of prey - a hawk. As they venture into the mountains, one can imagine the excitement and anticipation in their eyes as they embark on this outdoor adventure. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element from the delicate brushstrokes capturing each woman's features to the intricate patterns on their garments speaks volumes about Japanese artistry during this era. The presence of an attendant and maid adds depth to this composition, highlighting societal roles within households at that time. This print is part of the Minneapolis Institute of Arts' collection and was generously bequeathed by Louis W. Hill Jr. , allowing us today to appreciate its historical significance. It serves as a window into Japanese culture during the Tokugawa period when such outings were cherished moments for relaxation and appreciation of nature's beauty. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported back in time, marveling at both its artistic mastery and cultural richness that continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
