EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Cock from the 15th century, originally painted by the talented Oguri Sotan. Engraved in the E-hon te-kagami, this masterpiece belongs to the Chinese School of art. The intricate details of this feathered creature are beautifully captured, highlighting its vibrant plumage and regal stance. The cockerel is perched on a branch, exuding an air of confidence and authority. Its feathers are meticulously depicted, showcasing the artist's skill in capturing texture and movement. In Japanese culture, birds hold significant symbolism representing freedom and transcendence. The monochrome presentation adds depth to this artwork while emphasizing its timeless appeal. This print is part of "The Pictorial Arts of Japan" collection compiled by William Anderson in 1886. Anderson was renowned for his passion for Japanese art and played a crucial role in introducing it to Western audiences during that era. As we admire this stunning piece, we can't help but be transported back to ancient Japan - a country known for its rich artistic heritage. The delicate strokes used to depict each individual feather speak volumes about the dedication and mastery involved in creating such masterpieces within the Kano School tradition. This print serves as both a visual delight and a testament to the enduring beauty found within Japanese art history.
