EDITORS COMMENTS
Set of Three Sake Cups for the First Month" (Tarozuki mitsugumi sakazuki), was created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1800/01. The print showcases three iconic figures from Japanese folklore: Kintaro, Urashimataro, and Momotaro. Kintaro, the strong and heroic boy, is depicted in the center cup wearing a vibrant pink kimono adorned with roses. His muscular physique and determined expression convey his legendary status as a hero. To the left, Urashimataro, the fisherman's son who was transformed into a prince, is shown in a more subdued purple kimono. His gentle demeanor and serene expression reflect his transformation from a humble fisherman to a prince. On the right, Momotaro, the Peach Boy, is dressed in a traditional oban-sized kimono. His youthful energy and playful expression are captured in this color woodblock print. This triptych is a prime example of the Edo period's artistic school, Ukiyo-e, which focused on the pleasures of the floating world. These three figures, steeped in Japanese folklore and heritage, continue to captivate audiences with their timeless stories and iconic appearances." This triptych is a cultural treasure, showcasing the rich history and artistic traditions of Japan during the 19th century. The intricate details of their clothing, the vibrant colors, and the expressions on their faces transport us to a bygone era. Whether displayed in an art center, art gallery, or art institute, this triptych is sure to be a conversation starter and a source of inspiration for generations to come.
