EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Throwing Clay Dishes (Kawarake nage)" by Suzuki Harunobu showcases a mesmerizing scene of a woman standing on the edge of a cliff, surrounded by majestic pine trees. In her hands, she holds four delicate cups made of clay, ready to be thrown into the abyss below. Originating from the Kyoto Jingoji Temple as a religious ritual to ward off misfortune, this practice has evolved into a popular activity during flower-viewing or drinking parties. The woman's graceful gesture symbolizes both an act of purification and an offering to the divine forces that govern our lives. The tranquil ambiance created by the serene mountain backdrop and lush greenery highlights the spiritual significance attached to this ritual. As we gaze at this artwork, we are transported to a realm where nature intertwines with human spirituality. Although unsigned, this woodblock print exemplifies Suzuki Harunobu's mastery in capturing delicate details and evoking emotions through his artistry. Each brushstroke brings life to every element depicted – from the intricate patterns on the cups to the texture of each tree branch. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this timeless piece invites us to contemplate our own relationship with tradition and spirituality while marveling at its aesthetic beauty. It serves as a reminder that even in moments of uncertainty or misfortune, there is solace in ancient rituals that connect us with something greater than ourselves.
