EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous woodblock print titled "Sarutahiko, No. 2 (Sono ni) from the series 'The Boulder Door of Spring'" captures the essence of Edo period art with its vivid colors and playful depiction of a man gesturing towards a rooster. Created by Totoya Hokkei in the 1820s, this artwork showcases the artist's skill in block printing. In this scene, we see a man dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, complete with patten shoes known as geta. He stands confidently with one hand raised, seemingly engaging in conversation or perhaps commanding attention. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly the lively rooster perched on his outstretched arm. The intricate details and careful use of color bring life to both the man and his feathered companion. The artist's mastery is evident through his ability to capture movement and expression within such a limited space. As we admire this piece from Heritage Images at The Art Institute of Chicago, we are transported back to 19th-century Japan, where daily life was intertwined with nature and tradition. This artwork serves as a reminder of our connection to animals and how they have been celebrated throughout history. Whether you appreciate it for its artistic technique or simply enjoy its whimsical charm, "Sarutahiko, No. 2" invites us into a world where beauty meets humor in perfect harmony.
