EDITORS COMMENTS
The Jewel River of Plovers" (Chidori Tamagawa) is a captivating and intricately detailed color woodblock print from the series "Fashionable Six Jewel Rivers" (Furyu Mu Tamagawa) created by the renowned Japanese artist Kikukawa Eizan around 1804-18. This stunning work of art depicts a serene and picturesque scene of a riverbank teeming with plovers, a type of shorebird. The title "Jewel River" refers to the shimmering, grey waters of the estuary, which reflect the vibrant colors and patterns of the clothing worn by the elegant woman standing on the riverbank. The woman, dressed in a beautiful kimono with intricate patterns and ornate kanzashi hair ornaments, gazes intently at the flock of plovers as they gather on the riverbank. Her hairstyle, adorned with delicate flowers and ornaments, is a testament to the meticulous attention to detail that characterized the artistic schools of the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. The print showcases the fusion of nature and fashion, as the plovers and their surroundings are depicted in exquisite detail, while the woman's clothing and accessories are the epitome of fashionable attire. The use of calligraphy and bold, colorful patterns adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of the print. This oban-sized print is a rare and valuable piece of Asian art, showcasing the artistic prowess of Kikukawa Eizan and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and intricacy of Japanese art from the past.
