EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Festival by the Sumida River" takes us back to the late 18th century in Japan. Created by the talented artist Katsukawa Shunzan, this triptych of polychrome woodblock prints beautifully captures a vibrant scene during the Edo period. The image showcases a bustling festival along the picturesque Sumida River. The river's tranquil waters reflect colorful lanterns that illuminate both boats and people alike. Men and women, dressed in traditional attire, gather on these boats as they navigate through the waterways. Intricate details are brought to life through ink and color on paper, showcasing Shunzan's mastery of his craft. Each figure is meticulously depicted with hand-held fans adding an elegant touch to their appearance. As we explore this artwork further, we can't help but notice how it encapsulates not only the cultural heritage of Japan but also its geographical features. The estuary mouth where Sumida River meets Tokyo Bay serves as a backdrop for this lively celebration. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece allows us to travel back in time and immerse ourselves in Japanese history. It reminds us of the importance of festivals as a means of community gathering and celebration throughout centuries. Katsukawa Shunzan's "Festival by the Sumida River" is truly a testament to ukiyo-e artistry and offers viewers an enchanting glimpse into 18th-century Japan's rich traditions and customs.
