EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Passage 191 (Hyaku kyujuichi dan), from the series 'Essays in Idleness for the Asakusa Group (Asakusagawa Tsurezuregusa)'" transports us back to early 19th century Japan. Created by the talented artist Kubo Shunman, this woodblock print is a true masterpiece of ukiyo-e art. The image showcases a close-up view of a shikishi ban, a traditional Japanese square paper used for calligraphy and poetry. The black background beautifully contrasts with the vibrant colors of olive green and deep green that adorn the leaf design on the shikishi ban. This intricate patterned decoration adds an exquisite touch to the overall composition. Intriguingly, placed at the center of this still life scene is a tambourine, symbolizing music and rhythm. Its presence suggests that music played an important role in daily life during Japan's Tokugawa period. Kubo Shunman's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this woodblock print - from the delicate tassel hanging from one corner of the shikishi ban to his skillful use of block printing techniques to create texture and depth. Displayed at an art gallery or institute like The Art Institute Chicago, this artwork serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage. It invites viewers into a world where tradition meets innovation, where beauty resides within simplicity. Through its combination of color, design, and cultural significance, Kubo Shunman's "Passage 191" offers us not only visual pleasure but also insight into early 19th-century Japanese aesthetics and artistic expression.
