EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two Lovers, Oshichi and Kichisaburo" takes us back to the Edo period in 18th century Japan. Created by the talented artist Okumura Masanobu, this hand-coloured woodblock print beautifully depicts a tale of love and devotion. In this scene, we see Oshichi and Kichisaburo, two lovers who are deeply intertwined in their emotions. The full-length composition showcases their elegant attire and captures their intense connection through subtle gestures. Oshichi's delicate hand points towards something beyond the frame while Kichisaburo stands tall with a samurai sword at his side. The vibrant colours used in this piece bring life to every detail, from the intricate patterns on their garments to the lush background scenery. Masanobu's mastery of woodblock printing is evident in the precision of each line and brushstroke. As we admire this artwork, we are transported to a time when love was both cherished and tested amidst war-torn landscapes. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of human connection even in challenging circumstances. Displayed within an art gallery or institute such as Chicago's Art Institute, this heritage art piece offers viewers a glimpse into Japanese artistic traditions during the Tokugawa period. Its historical significance combined with its aesthetic beauty makes it an invaluable addition to any collection dedicated to Asian arts.
