EDITORS COMMENTS
Ra: Narihira Requests a Painting from a Former Lover" is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Tales of Ise" created by the renowned Japanese artist Shunsho in approximately 1772/73. This masterpiece is a stunning representation of the 9th century poet, Ariwara no Narihira, who is depicted in traditional Japanese attire, standing before a doorway, requesting a painting from a former lover. The scene is set in a serene garden, with shoji doors subtly framing the background. The print showcases the intricacies of the Edo period's artistic school, the Katsukawa School, with its vibrant color woodblock technique. The use of rich, earthy tones such as green and orange adds depth and texture to the image, while the delicate details of the clothing and accessories reflect the fashion of the time. Narihira, dressed in a formal kimono, is shown with a humble and respectful demeanor, emphasizing the depth of his emotions towards his former lover. The print captures the essence of the Tales of Ise, a collection of poetic stories that explore the complexities of love and relationships in ancient Japan. This artwork is a testament to the artistic prowess of Shunsho and the Katsukawa School, and is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Japanese art, literature, and fashion, and offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 18th century.
