EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite stole from Ohi, Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912), created between 1875 and 1900. The identity of its talented creator remains unknown, but their artistic prowess is evident in this stunning piece. The stole features a rich tapestry of colors and textures, adorned with intricate floral patterns that celebrate the beauty of nature. Gold leaf accents and metallic threads add a touch of opulence to the design, reflecting the craftsmanship and attention to detail characteristic of Japanese art. Made from silk wrapped cotton cords, this luxurious garment exemplifies traditional Japanese costume and clothing. Lined with silk twill damask weave fabric, it exudes elegance and sophistication. Religion also plays a significant role in this stole's symbolism as it incorporates Buddhist elements into its decorative patches made from silk and gold leaf over lacquered paper strips. These patches are intricately woven using warp float faced twill weaves with supplementary brocading wefts bound together in various interlacings. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago gallery, this heritage art piece serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural history during the late 19th century. Its combination of traditional craftsmanship, vibrant colors, and religious motifs make it an extraordinary representation of Japanese artistic expression during the Meiji period.
