EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Tales of Yamato, from the series Ten Designs of Old Tales" takes us on a journey through ancient Japanese folklore. Created by Harunobu Gakutei in the early 19th century, this woodblock engraving measures 21.3x18.4 cm and is housed at the prestigious Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge. The image transports us to a mythical court setting where legendary tales unfold. The intricate details of the sword, costume, and headdress worn by the warrior protagonist showcase the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The archer's bow and belt suggest his prowess as a skilled marksman ready for battle. Inscribed with text that chronicles these enchanting stories, this artwork not only captivates our eyes but also invites us to delve deeper into its narrative. The use of vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship adds depth to each character portrayed on this shikishi ban (a traditional square-shaped paper). As we admire this exquisite engraving, we are reminded of Nara-era influences reflected in the kimono-clad figures depicted here. Their clothes speak volumes about their status within society while their sabres symbolize strength and honor. This print captures an era long gone but still alive through artistry that has stood the test of time. It serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic brilliance - an invaluable treasure preserved for generations to come thanks to Bridgeman Images' dedication to sharing fine art with enthusiasts worldwide.
