EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning polychrome woodblock print, titled "Feather-Brush and Doran (a Kind of Medicine Case) with a Netsuke of a Rat, probably 1816" is a true masterpiece from the 19th century. Created by Totoya Hokkei, a renowned artist from the Edo period in Japan, this artwork showcases his exceptional skill in ukiyo-e printing. The print depicts an exquisite still life composition featuring a feather brush and doran, which is a type of medicine case. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring these objects to life on the paper. Additionally, nestled within this arrangement is a netsuke - a small sculptural object used as an accessory for traditional Japanese garments - depicting an adorable rat. Hokkei's expertise in ink and color on paper shines through every stroke of this woodblock print. His mastery of technique is evident in the delicate lines and harmonious blend of hues that create depth and dimensionality. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a testament to Hokkei's artistic legacy and offers viewers an insight into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It invites us to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also its historical significance as part of the country's artistic tradition. With its meticulous craftsmanship and captivating subject matter, "Feather-Brush and Doran with a Netsuke" remains an enduring symbol of Hokkei's talent and continues to captivate art enthusiasts around
