EDITORS COMMENTS
In this polychrome woodblock print surimono by Kubo Shunman, titled "Two Girls Collect New Years Herbs, 1797" we are transported to the enchanting world of Edo-period Japan. The scene depicts two young women immersed in the beauty of nature as they gather herbs for the upcoming New Year festivities. The delicate strokes and vibrant colors bring life to every detail, from the lush greenery surrounding them to the intricate patterns on their kimonos. As they carefully select each herb, their graceful movements reflect a deep connection with both the land and their cultural heritage. Shunman's artistic prowess shines through in his ability to capture not only the physical beauty of these women but also their inner strength and resilience. Their presence evokes a sense of serenity and harmony that is characteristic of Japanese art. This artwork serves as a testament to the enduring appeal of ukiyo-e prints, which continue to captivate audiences worldwide centuries after their creation. It is no wonder that this piece has found its home at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where it can be appreciated by generations to come. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of our own connection with nature and how it shapes our traditions and celebrations. Through Shunman's masterful brushwork, these two girls become more than mere figures on paper – they become symbols of timeless beauty and cultural heritage.
