EDITORS COMMENTS
The Jewel River of Plovers in Mutsu Province," a captivating and intricately designed color woodblock print by Rekisentei Eiri from the Eighteenth Century, offers a stunning portrayal of the natural beauty of Oshu Province in Japan. The print, part of an untitled series of Six Jewel Rivers, showcases the serene estuary where the Jewel River meets the sea, teeming with plovers, a common shorebird, and their offspring. The scene is set against the backdrop of a lush, verdant landscape, with tall trees and vibrant plants lining the riverbank. The river itself, shimmering with a crystal-clear, turquoise hue, reflects the clear blue sky above. A group of men, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, including the elegant kimono and hosoda pants, are seen standing on the riverbank, admiring the sight of the plovers and their young ones. The print is a masterpiece of Japanese art, with meticulous attention to detail in the calligraphy, the intricate patterns on the men's clothing, and the lifelike depiction of the plovers and their surroundings. The use of color is particularly noteworthy, with the bright red of the plovers' beaks and legs contrasting against the muted greens and blues of the landscape. Rekisentei Eiri, also known as Chokyosai or Shikyusai, was a renowned Japanese artist of the Edo period, known for his mastery of the woodblock printing technique. This print is a testament to his artistic prowess and his deep appreciation for the natural world and the people who inhabit it." The Jewel River of Plovers in Mutsu Province is a treasure of Asian art, showcasing the rich heritage and cultural traditions of Japan. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, nature, or the history of the region. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
