EDITORS COMMENTS
Eguchi and Love's Fishing Boat (Koi no Tsuribune Eguchi), no. 4" is a captivating print from a series of twelve created by the renowned Japanese artist Okumura Masanobu in the early 18th century. This masterpiece, which dates back to around 1716/35, is a parody of plays and showcases the artist's exceptional skill in the Oban Sumizuri-e style. The scene depicts two figures, Eguchi and Genpachi, dressed in elegant kimono, standing on the riverbank. They are preparing to set sail in their fishing boat, which is filled with an abundance of colorful koi fish. The playful expression on their faces and the exaggerated poses of their bodies add a satirical touch to the otherwise serene image. The setting is a picturesque estuary, with the sun setting in the background and the geographical feature of a torii gate visible in the distance. The intricate details of the clothing, the textures of the fabric, and the delicate brushwork of the artist bring the scene to life. This print is a testament to the artistic school of the Torii, which was known for its innovative use of color and bold compositions. The concept of the series was to poke fun at popular plays of the time, and this print, in particular, showcases the artist's ability to capture the essence of human nature through humor and satire. The print is a valuable heritage art piece that provides a glimpse into the fashion, culture, and daily life of Japan during the 18th century. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, art history, or the artistic traditions of Japan.
