EDITORS COMMENTS
On this woodblock print from the 19th century, we find Ono no Michikaze, a renowned calligrapher, poet, and scribe of the Edo period, depicted by the masterful hands of Utagawa Kunisada and Ando Hiroshige. The print, titled "Ono no Tofu," is part of the "Komyo kaitei zukushi" series, with "Spring Willow above the Bridge" by Hiroshige as a companion piece. Michikaze is shown wearing traditional Japanese clothing of the time, including a simple, elegant kimono with a vibrant, geometric pattern, and a wide-brimmed hat called a gotetei. His expression is thoughtful and contemplative, reflecting the deep introspection required for his artistic pursuits. The poet is shown seated on a tatami mat, with a scroll of calligraphy in hand, and a brush and ink set at his side. The background of the print features a beautiful bridge, with the delicate branches of a willow tree extending above it, adding a touch of natural beauty to the scene. The intricate details of the clothing, the subtle color palette, and the expressive facial expression of Michikaze all serve to transport us back to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. This exquisite print, now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the artistic collaboration between Kunisada and Hiroshige, and a reminder of the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese art and fashion.
