EDITORS COMMENTS
Wada's Banquet," or "Wada Sakamori," is a captivating print from the series "Famous Scenes from Japanese Puppet Plays" created by Okumura Masanobu around 1705/06. This exquisite work of art showcases a lively banquet scene, featuring a group of men gathered around a low table, engaged in merriment and revelry. The men, dressed in various stages of undress, don traditional Japanese clothing such as kimonos and semi-dresses. Some are barefoot and bare-chested, while others wear socks and have their sleeves rolled up, revealing their forearms. The central figure, Wada, wears a formal kimono, his obi sash tied in a bold bow. He holds a katana sword, a symbol of his power and status. The scene is set against a backdrop of a traditional Japanese interior, with sliding doors and tatami mats. The men are surrounded by an array of food and drink, including sake, rice cakes, and various dishes. The atmosphere is lively and festive, with laughter and conversation filling the room. The print is a masterpiece of oban sumizuri-e, a type of Japanese woodblock print made using sumi ink on paper. Okumura Masanobu, a renowned artist of the time, expertly captures the essence of the Soga Brothers' tale, a legendary Japanese story that was popularized through puppet plays. This print is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo period, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of Japanese art and fashion. Today, this print is a cherished piece of heritage art, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Art Department. It continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of Japan.
