EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Screen and a Tiger" takes us back to January 1866, showcasing the exquisite artistry of Yoshimi, Rogetsu. This colour woodblock print measures 18.3x24.6 cm and is housed in the prestigious Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. In this artwork, we are transported to East Asia as we witness a scene of intrigue and mystery. A beautifully crafted screen stands tall against an ornate backdrop, adorned with delicate calligraphy that tells tales of ancient wisdom. The screen serves as both a physical barrier and a symbolic representation of hidden truths. However, it is not just the screen that captures our attention; it is also the presence of a majestic tiger lurking amidst its folds. The tiger's piercing gaze suggests power and strength while simultaneously evoking curiosity within us. Yoshimi skillfully combines elements from Japanese culture - screens, calligraphy, tigers - to create an image that resonates deeply with viewers. Through his mastery of woodblock printing techniques, he brings life to each stroke on paper. As we admire this remarkable piece from centuries ago, let us appreciate how art can transport us across time and space while igniting our imagination through its intricate details and symbolism.
