EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating triptych of hanging scrolls, "Minamoto no Nakakuni Visits Lady Kogo" transports viewers to the late 1600s in Japan. Created by the talented artist Kiyohara Yukinobu, this exquisite piece measures an impressive 180x59.4 cm and is housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Within this stunning artwork, we witness a fascinating encounter between two prominent figures from Japanese history. Minamoto no Nakakuni pays a visit to Lady Kogo's residence, depicted with meticulous ink and vibrant colors on silk. The composition showcases the renowned skills of the Kano School during the Edo period (1615-1868). Intriguingly, horses take center stage in this scene as they stand gracefully beside their human counterparts. These majestic animals symbolize strength and nobility while adding an element of wildlife to the composition. As our gaze shifts towards Minamoto no Nakakuni and Lady Kogo themselves, we observe their distinct gender roles within society. The man skillfully plays a koto—a traditional string instrument—while engaging in conversation with his female counterpart. This remarkable print not only captures historical events but also highlights cultural aspects such as music and social dynamics prevalent during that era. With its intricate details and masterful execution, it serves as a testament to Yukinobu's artistic prowess. Bridgeman Images has preserved this extraordinary piece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty and delve into Japan
