EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ariwara no Narihira from the series 'Fashionable Children as the Six Immortal Poets'" (Furyu kodakara rokkasen), dates back to the 19th century in Japan. Created by the renowned artist Kikukawa Eizan, this masterpiece is a stunning representation of the 9th century poet, Ariwara no Narihira, from the Heian period. The print showcases the poet in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a grey kimono adorned with intricate patterns, an obi belt, and a red obi sash. The detailed design of his clothing reflects the artistic school of the Edo period, which emphasized the beauty and elegance of everyday life. The unique aspect of this print lies in the depiction of Narihira as a child. In this series, Eizan portrays the Six Immortal Poets as fashionable children, highlighting the significance of their literary heritage in Japanese culture. The image of Narihira, holding a calligraphy brush and sitting in a domestic setting with his mother, evokes a sense of nostalgia and appreciation for the rich history of Japanese literature and family life. The vibrant colors and detailed block printing techniques used in this print exemplify the artistic prowess of Kikukawa Eizan and the artistic traditions of Japan during the 19th century. This work of art is a testament to the enduring influence of the Six Immortal Poets and the importance of preserving the artistic and literary heritage of Japan.
