EDITORS COMMENTS
The Flute (Yokobue), c. 1845" is a captivating woodblock print by Kunisada, Utagawa (Toyokuni III) that transports us back to the Edo period in Japan. Measuring 25.4 x 18.42 cm, this exquisite artwork can be found at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The print showcases an intimate scene within a traditional Japanese house, offering a glimpse into the domestic life of that era. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures both the interior and exterior elements of the house. The delicate calligraphy on display adds an extra layer of authenticity to this portrayal. At the center of this composition stands a musician playing a yokobue, or flute, with great concentration and grace. The serene expression on his face suggests that he is fully immersed in his music, transporting himself and anyone who gazes upon this print into another world. This artwork not only highlights the beauty of Japanese culture but also serves as a reminder of its rich musical heritage. It invites us to appreciate not just visual art but also auditory art forms like music. Thanks to Captain George B. Powell Jr. , JAGC, USN's generous gift, visitors at the San Diego Museum of Art can now admire this remarkable piece from East Asia's past for years to come.
