EDITORS COMMENTS
Blooming Cherries in the Capital" is a stunning black and white woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tachibana Morikuni, created in the 1740s. This exquisite work of art offers an aerial view of the hillside landscape in the capital, adorned with a breathtaking display of cherry blossoms. The print showcases a serene scene of the blooming cherry trees, their delicate pink petals cascading down the hills in a picturesque display of nature's beauty. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the eighteenth century. Morikuni's masterful use of woodblock printing techniques is evident in the intricate details and textures of the landscape, from the winding river at the foot of the hills to the verandahs and houses nestled among the trees. The print also features calligraphy by the poet Naramura Yuzeishi, adding an additional layer of cultural significance to the work. The scene is reminiscent of a tranquil moment in time, with men dressed in traditional Japanese garb gathered on the veranda, taking in the breathtaking view of the cherry blossoms. The print invites us to imagine the gentle breeze rustling through the trees, the soft sound of birds chirping, and the peaceful atmosphere of the scene. This woodblock print is a rare and valuable piece of Asian art, showcasing the beauty and cultural significance of cherry blossoms in Japan. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and art of the continent, and a beautiful addition to any collection of Asian or landscape art.
