EDITORS COMMENTS
The Shop of Sanogawa Ichimatsu," a captivating woodblock print by Ishikawa Toyonobu from the eighteenth century, offers a vibrant and intriguing glimpse into the bustling world of a traditional Japanese shop during the Edo period. This detail from a larger artwork, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases a scene of customers and shopkeepers engaged in various activities within the shop. At the heart of the composition, Sanogawa Ichimatsu, a boy with a serious expression, sits at a low table, carefully examining a selection of ceramic jars and pots. His older brother, Magosaburo, stands behind him, attentively serving a female customer. She delicately selects playing cards from a display screen, while another woman, accompanied by two men, examines a container on a nearby table. The shop's atmosphere is filled with the aroma of tobacco, as a man puffs on a kiseru pipe, while another man holds a tobacco jar. The shop's interior is adorned with an oban yoko-e benizuri-e screen, adding a touch of elegance and sophistication to the space. The rich colors and intricate details of the woodblock print bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the eighteenth century and inviting us to explore the daily life and commerce of a Japanese shop during the Tokugawa period. The print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Ishikawa Toyonobu, a renowned artist of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, and a valuable addition to the heritage of Japanese art.
