EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print from the 1930s showcases a regal Pekingese dog, exuding elegance and charm. Created by renowned artist Koson Ohara, this artwork measures 33.2x24.1 cm and is housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the USA. The image depicts a beautiful Pekingese dog standing proudly amidst a backdrop of birds and birdcages, evoking a sense of tranquility and harmony between nature and domesticity. The intricate details of each feathered creature are meticulously captured, showcasing Ohara's mastery of his craft. The Pekingese breed has long been associated with nobility and luxury in Japan, making this piece an exquisite representation of Japanese culture during the Showa era. With its distinctively flat face, flowing mane-like fur, and small stature, it is no wonder that these lapdogs were highly sought after as pets among aristocrats. Intriguingly enough, nestled within this enchanting scene is a walking stick or cane - perhaps symbolizing both companionship for those who may require assistance while also serving as an accessory befitting such refined surroundings. As we gaze upon this timeless masterpiece from the Robert O. Muller Collection at Bridgeman Images, we are transported to an era where beauty was celebrated through artistry and animals held a special place in our hearts.
