Beside Mount Utsu
In Suruga
I can see you
Neither waking
nor, alas, even in my dreams.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning fan from the late 17th to early 18th century Edo period in Japan. Created by the renowned artist Korin, Ogata, this exquisite piece measures 35.6x22.7 cm and is currently housed at the Freer Gallery of Art in the Smithsonian Institution. The fan features two distinct sides, each depicting its own unique scene. On one side, we are transported into a passage from the Tales of Ise, an ancient collection of narratives and poems. The painting depicts travelers encountering a dark mountain pass that evokes a sense of desolate remoteness from their familiar world in Kyoto. This feeling is beautifully expressed through a poignant poem inscribed on the artwork. On the other side of this remarkable fan, we are greeted with an enchanting sight - white chrysanthemums gracefully adorning a serene stream. These delicate flowers are painted using moriage technique, creating an alluring low relief effect that adds depth and texture to the artwork. This print not only captures Korin's masterful craftsmanship but also highlights his ability to evoke emotions through artistry and storytelling. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage during this period and offers viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in its beauty and symbolism.
