EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating double-page illustration from Kitagawa Utamaro's book "Gifts from the Ebb Tide" (Shiohi no Tsuto), created in Japan during the late eighteenth century. This stunning work of art, now held in the Art Institute of Chicago's collection, showcases an assortment of marine life and natural phenomena found along the shores of Japan during low tide. The image is a masterpiece of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, characterized by its intricate detail and vibrant color woodblock printing. The foreground features a variety of seashells and rocks, their textures and forms beautifully rendered in olive green and beige hues. In the background, we see a serene seashore, with the gentle curve of the shoreline leading the eye to the horizon. The title of the work refers to the six types of seafood and seaweed presented in the illustration. Minashi-gai, or "shellfish," is depicted in the foreground, while Shio-gai, or "salted fish," Katatsu-gai, or "dried fish," Miso-gai, or "miso-marinated fish," Chijimi-gai, or "clams," and Chigusa-gai, or "seaweed," are shown in the background. This double-page illustration is a testament to the natural beauty and richness of the Japanese coastline during the Tokugawa period. It also reflects the scientific curiosity and appreciation for the natural world that characterized the Edo period, making it an important work of natural history as well as art. The calligraphy that accompanies the image adds to its elegance and completes the presentation of this exquisite gift from the ebb tide.
