EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Getting Sacred Sea Water at Itsukushima Shrine on the New Years Day" takes us back to January 1857 in Japan. The image showcases a scene of great cultural significance and tradition. In this vibrant woodblock print by KAcchA, Ueda, we witness a group of men and boys dressed in traditional kimonos as they gather around the sacred sea water at Itsukushima Shrine. The composition is filled with energy and anticipation as each individual carefully collects the holy water for blessings and purification rituals during the auspicious New Year's Day celebration. The young boy in focus captures our attention with his earnest expression while engaging in calligraphy writing on a piece of paper nearby. The use of color adds depth to this historical moment, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail within the artwork. From the vivid hues adorning their clothing to the serene blue tones representing the sacred sea water itself, this print truly transports us into another era. Displayed proudly at Minneapolis Institute of Arts, MN, USA, this remarkable piece serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and its enduring traditions that continue to be cherished today. Thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Samuel H. Maslon's generous gift, viewers can now experience firsthand this extraordinary glimpse into Japanese history captured by Bridgeman Images through Fine Art Finder platform
