EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Portrait of Yato Fumoshichi Norikane" was created by Yokogawa Horitake in 1852-53 during the Edo period in Japan. The artist, known for his mastery of ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world), skillfully combines ink and color on paper to bring this portrait to life. The subject of the artwork is Yato Fumoshichi Norikane, a distinguished gentleman from that era. His dignified presence is beautifully captured, showcasing his refined features and traditional attire. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke contributes to the overall depth and realism of the piece. The use of vibrant colors adds an extra layer of visual appeal, enhancing the richness and complexity of this woodblock print. A lantern softly illuminates Yato's face, creating a warm ambiance that draws viewers into his world. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exquisite artwork exemplifies the heritage artistry prevalent during Japan's 19th century artistic school. It serves as a testament to both Yokogawa Horitake's exceptional talent as well as Utagawa Kuniyoshi's influence on Japanese woodblock printing. As we admire this stunning portrait today, we can appreciate how it captures not only one man's likeness but also offers us a glimpse into a bygone era filled with elegance and cultural significance.
