EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Syllable - Mo from the series Tales of Ise in Fashionable Brocade Prints" transports us to a scene of elegance and refinement. Created by the talented artist Shunsho Katsukawa in 1770-1773, this artwork measures 21.7x15.6 cm and is housed at the Maidstone Museum and Art Gallery in Kent, UK. The dominant color palette of green to yellow-green sets a serene atmosphere, complemented by hints of pale sepia brown and yellow ochre to pale orange. The composition depicts an interior setting where a nobleman engages in conversation with a lady seated on tatami mats. An incense burner rests nearby, adding an element of tranquility to the scene. Interestingly, we observe the lady from behind while the gentleman's face is turned towards us, creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. Through a cloud-shaped window framed by shoji screens, we catch glimpses of a snowy village rooftop landscape adorned with a crowing cock. Adding further charm to this exquisite print are single characters enclosed within circles at each top corner—each character representing different Kana types—a subtle detail that enhances its artistic appeal. Shunsho masterfully captures both beauty and narrative within this piece from his series illustrating the renowned 11th-century novel Tales of Ise. With its delicate details and evocative ambiance, this print invites viewers into an enchanting world where artistry meets storytelling.
