EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "Ofuji of the Yanagi Shop" transports us back to 18th-century Japan. Created by Buncho, Ippitsusai in approximately 1769, this exquisite artwork measures 32.6x15.5 cm and is housed at The Art Institute of Chicago as part of the Clarence Buckingham Collection. The image showcases a young girl named Ofuji seated inside the traditional Yanagi Shop. Dressed in an elegant kimono and donning a robe, she exudes grace and poise beyond her years. Her serene expression hints at her dedication to her role as shopkeeper. Every detail in this print speaks volumes about Japanese culture during that era – from the intricately designed interior to Ofuji's meticulously crafted costume. It offers us a glimpse into a world where tradition and craftsmanship were highly valued. Buncho masterfully captures both the beauty of his subject and the essence of daily life in Japan at that time. Through his skilled use of colour and composition, he brings Ofuji's story to life on paper. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its artistic merit but also its historical significance. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage preserved within museums like The Art Institute of Chicago for generations to come.
