EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exquisite artwork titled "Monkey, 1815" created by Mori Sosen. The image is taken from the last volume of the renowned "Meika Gafu" a collection of woodblock prints published in Japan in 1815. This particular edition was featured in Louise Norton Brown's book, "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" released by George Routledge & Sons Ltd. and E. P. Dutton & Co. in London and New York during the year 1924. Mori Sosen, an artist from the Edo period, showcases his mastery through this monochrome depiction of a monkey amidst lush foliage. The primate's gaze exudes both curiosity and wisdom as it perches on a tree branch surrounded by intricate plant life. The image transports us back to early 19th-century Japan, offering a glimpse into its artistic school known as ukiyo-e or "pictures of the floating world". Through meticulous woodblock printing techniques, Sosen brings nature to life with remarkable detail and precision. This piece serves as a testament to Japanese artistry during that era—a harmonious blend of traditional aesthetics and natural beauty captured within one frame. As we admire this timeless creation, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage preserved within such masterpieces like "Monkey, 1815. "
