EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Street scene, ca. 1789" takes us back to the vibrant streets of Edo period Japan. Created by the talented artist Katsukawa Shuncho, this diptych of polychrome woodblock prints beautifully captures a moment of flirtation and intrigue. In this bustling street scene, we see women adorned in exquisite kimonos admiring a young man with curiosity and admiration. The colors on their garments are rich and vivid, adding to the overall allure of the artwork. The attention to detail is remarkable; from the delicate hand-held fans they hold to the elegant parasols that shield them from the sun's rays. The Asian conical hats worn by some individuals hint at their rural origins or perhaps serve as a fashionable accessory for protection against inclement weather. Meanwhile, others sport coolie hats commonly associated with farmers or laborers. As we observe this snapshot in time captured through ink and color on paper, it becomes evident that there is more than meets the eye. Whispers and glances exchanged between these figures suggest hidden stories waiting to be unveiled. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece showcases not only Katsukawa Shuncho's artistic prowess but also provides us with a glimpse into Japanese culture during the eighteenth century. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and transport us into different eras and worlds.
