EDITORS COMMENTS
Mu: Clapping the Hands to Effect a Curse" is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Tales of Ise in Fashionable Brocade Pictures" created by the renowned artist Shunsho in the mid-18th century. This masterpiece, dating back to around 1772/73, is a testament to the artistic brilliance of the Katsukawa School during the Edo Period in Japan. The print depicts a solitary woman, Mu, seated on a mat with a basket of maple leaves at her side. She is dressed in an elegant kimono adorned with intricate patterns, her posture exuding a sense of quiet determination. With a serious expression on her face, she raises her hands in a clapping motion, the gesture believed to invoke a curse. The vibrant colors of the print, dominated by the rich green hue of the maple leaves and the deep red of Mu's kimono, add to the overall allure of the artwork. The delicate calligraphy that adorns the borders of the print further enhances its aesthetic appeal. The setting of the print is rooted in Japanese literature, specifically the "Tales of Ise," a collection of poems and stories about love and longing. The inclusion of the maple leaves, a symbol of autumn and change, adds a layer of depth to the print, reflecting the transient nature of life and love. Mu's strong, confident posture and the intricate details of her clothing and surroundings demonstrate the masterful skill of Shunsho, who was known for his ability to capture the essence of his subjects and their environments. This print is a treasure of Asian art, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo Period.
