EDITORS COMMENTS
Hototogisu, Mid-19th century. The Flying Bird" is a captivating and exquisite woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi during the mid-19th century, specifically in the 1840s. This masterpiece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo and Tokugawa periods. The print showcases the Hototogisu, also known as the Japanese cuckoo or the lesser cuckoo (Cuculus poliocephalus), a common passerine bird native to Asia. The bird is depicted in mid-flight, its wings spread wide and its body in a graceful, joyful pose. The artist has captured the essence of freedom and joy in the bird's expression, making it an iconic symbol of happiness and joyousness in Japanese culture. The Hototogisu is a songbird, and its distinctive call is said to resemble the sound of a baby crying. This bird is also known for its unique reproductive behavior, where it lays its eggs in the nests of other birds, making it a symbol of trickery and cunning. This woodblock print is a prime example of Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that emerged during the Edo period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print are a result of the traditional woodblock printing technique, which involves carving the design into wooden blocks and then pressing ink onto paper using those blocks. This beautiful work of art is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is cherished as a valuable piece of Asian art and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
