Clearing Breeze from a Fan (Ogi no seiran), Japan, c. 1772 - A Glimpse into Edo Period Serenity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodblock print by Kitao Shigemasa transports us to 18th century Japan, offering a serene escape from the bustling city life of the time. The artwork depicts a tranquil scene on an engawa, or veranda, where a gentle breeze rustles through the air. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece, we can almost feel the refreshing wind caressing our skin. In the foreground, a graceful woman delicately holds a hand-held fan known as an ogi. With each flick of her wrist, she creates small gusts that cool both herself and the potted plants nearby. The vibrant colors used in this print bring to life not only her elegant kimono but also the blooming flowers that adorn her surroundings. Shigemasa's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush; he captures not just nature's beauty but also its essence. Through this artwork, we are transported to another time and place – one where people sought solace in simple pleasures like feeling the clearing breeze on their skin during hot summer days. As we admire "Clearing Breeze from a Fan" let us appreciate its significance as part of Japan's artistic heritage. This woodblock print represents ukiyo-e art at its finest – capturing fleeting moments and evoking emotions with remarkable precision. Displayed proudly
