EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the Edo period in 18th century Japan, where we witness a young girl engrossed in a game of battledore and shuttlecock. Created by the talented artist Shunsho, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of leisure and play during that era. The girl is depicted in full length, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing that showcases the fashion trends of the time. Her colorful kimono and meticulously tied obi reflect her status as an elegant woman. The attention to detail extends to her footwear, as she wears geta, wooden sandals commonly worn during this period. As she skillfully hits the shuttlecock with her battledore, we can sense her concentration and enjoyment. This painting not only serves as a delightful pastime scene but also provides insights into education and cultural practices prevalent at that time. Displayed at the Arthur M Sackler Gallery within the Smithsonian Institution's Freer Gallery of Art, this piece is part of their extensive collection dedicated to preserving heritage art from around the world. It is truly remarkable how Shunsho's work has transcended centuries, allowing us to appreciate both his artistic talent and gain glimpses into Japanese history. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply fascinated by historical artifacts, this print offers a window into 18th-century Japan through its depiction of a young girl immersed in an age-old game.
