EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print, titled "5043677" by Gakutei Yashima, transports us to the enchanting world of Japanese art. Displayed at the Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this Surimono print showcases two hares peacefully grazing amidst dandelions and young fir trees. The meticulous details are brought to life with spots of vibrant red for the hares' eyes, adding a touch of intrigue to the composition. The artist's signature remains absent from this artwork, leaving room for speculation and interpretation. Above the scene, a poem and inscription further enhance its poetic charm. A dragon seal bearing censor/dates is discreetly placed on the print, indicating its historical significance. As we admire this exquisite piece captured by Bridgeman Images, we are reminded of nature's delicate beauty and its ability to inspire artistic expression across cultures. The presence of both fir trees and hares symbolizes resilience and adaptability in Japanese folklore. This print invites us into a realm where poetry intertwines with visual artistry—a testament to Gakutei Yashima's mastery as an ukiyo-e artist. Its inclusion in eBristol Museums, Galleries & Archives ensures that it can be appreciated by audiences worldwide while preserving Japan's rich artistic heritage for generations to come.
