EDITORS COMMENTS
Night Rain Karasaki (image 2 of 2), Early 1780s" is a stunning woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kubo Shunman, depicting a concerned couple taking shelter from the rain at the lakeside during the Edo period. The print is part of the "Eight Views of Omi" series, a popular genre of Japanese art that focused on scenic landscapes and seasonal motifs. The image captures the essence of the Eight Views of Omi theme, with its focus on the geographical feature of Lake Biwa in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Kinki, Japan. The couple, dressed in fashionable clothing of the eighteenth century, are shown huddled under a parasol, attempting to shield themselves from the heavy rain. The man wears a long robe and boots, while the woman dons a traditional karasaki dress, a type of formal dress made of silk or hemp, adorned with intricate patterns. The print showcases the attention to detail and masterful use of color that characterizes Kubo Shunman's work. The black color dominates the image, with the raindrops and the couple's clothing standing out against the dark background. The use of accessories, such as the man's geta (sandals) and the woman's parasol, adds to the authenticity of the scene. The lighting in the print is also noteworthy, with the lantern providing a warm glow that contrasts with the dark, rainy night. The couple's concerned expressions and their focus on each other add a sense of intimacy and human connection to the image. Overall, "Night Rain Karasaki (image 2 of 2), Early 1780s" is a beautiful and evocative work of art that captures the essence of the Edo period and the beauty of the Omi region. This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or Japanese heritage, and would make a stunning centerpiece in any home or office. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it can be appreciated by art lovers and scholars alike.
