EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print depicts a lively scene of Chinese children engaged in an ancient pastime - raising and fighting cocks. The vibrant image, created in Japan during the Meiji period (1868-1912), showcases the rich cultural exchange between China and Japan during this time. The print, with its intricate details and bold colors, transports us back to a time when cockfighting was a popular form of entertainment in East Asia. The children, dressed in traditional Chinese clothing, are shown in various stages of preparing their birds for combat. Some are holding their cocks, while others are tending to their wounds or applying ointments to make them stronger. The cocks themselves are depicted with great detail, their feathers ruffled and their eyes filled with determination. The woodblock technique used to create this print is a traditional Japanese art form that involves carving designs into wood and then printing them onto paper. The intricate details and bold colors of this print are a testament to the skill and artistry of the woodblock artist. This print offers a unique glimpse into the past, providing insight into the cultural practices and traditions of China and Japan during a time of significant historical change. It is a reminder of the rich history and artistic traditions that continue to influence East Asian culture today.
