EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Sawarabi, no. 48 in the series, Murasaki Shikibu Genji Cards" takes us on a journey back to ancient Japan. Created by Kunisada II, this exquisite colour woodblock print showcases his mastery of the ukiyo-e school of art. In this scene, we are transported to a serene garden where two figures engage in an animated conversation. Dressed in traditional costumes that reflect their character and status, they add depth and authenticity to the composition. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold of fabric and delicate brushstroke brings these characters to life. The artist pays homage to Murasaki Shikibu, renowned author of "The Tale of Genji" one of Japan's most celebrated literary works. This piece serves as a visual tribute to her legacy and influence on Japanese culture. As we admire this artwork from UCL Art Museum at University College London, we can't help but be enchanted by the tranquil beauty depicted here. The lush Japanese landscape with its vibrant colors transports us into another world entirely. This print not only captures a moment frozen in time but also invites us into a rich cultural narrative that continues to inspire generations today. It reminds us of the power art holds in preserving history and evoking emotions across time and space.
