EDITORS COMMENTS
A Thousand Grasses (Chigusa) (image 19 of 33), 1900" is a stunning monochrome woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Kamisaka Sekka during the Meiji Era (1868-1912) of the 20th century. This artwork is part of a series of thirty color woodblock prints, showcasing Sekka's mastery of the traditional Ukiyo-e style. The print depicts a serene and tranquil scene of the rising and setting sun, with a thousand grasses gracefully swaying in the breeze. The image is divided into two parts, with the left side representing the morning, as the sun rises above the horizon, casting long shadows and bathing the landscape in a warm golden light. The right side of the print represents the evening, as the sun sets, and the cooler tones of blue and purple dominate the scene, with the last rays of sunlight illuminating the grasses before they are enveloped by the darkness of night. The intricate details of the grasses are rendered with great precision and care, each blade meticulously carved into the woodblock. The print also includes subtle astronomical elements, such as the depiction of the solar system, with the sun at its center, surrounded by the planets and the moon. This beautiful work of art is a testament to Sekka's deep appreciation for the natural world and his mastery of the woodblock print technique. It is a reminder of the passing of time, the beauty of the changing seasons, and the harmony between nature and the cosmos. Currently, "A Thousand Grasses (Chigusa) (image 19 of 33), 1900" is part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. The print invites us to reflect on the beauty and complexity of the natural world and the passing of time, inviting us to pause and appreciate the present moment.
