EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print by Kitagawa Utamaro, titled "Spider (Kumo) and Evening Cicada (Higurashi)", transports us to the enchanting world of Japanese art. The intricate details and vibrant hues bring life to this mesmerizing composition. The print is part of a larger series called "Picture Book: Selected Insects", which showcases various insects accompanied by poems written by renowned poets Tsuburi Hikaru and Hyakkisai Morikado. In this particular image, Tsuburi Hikaru's poem celebrates the spider, while Hyakkisai Morikado's verse pays homage to the evening cicada. Utamaro's skillful craftsmanship is evident in his portrayal of both creatures. The delicate web spun by the spider glistens with precision, capturing its patient nature as it waits for its prey. Meanwhile, the evening cicada perches gracefully on a branch, emitting its characteristic song that fills summer evenings with nostalgia. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this print offers a glimpse into Japan's rich artistic heritage. Utamaro masterfully combines plant elements with poetry and insects to create a harmonious visual experience that transcends time. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of nature's beauty and how it has inspired artists throughout history. This print serves as a testament to Utamaro's talent and his ability to capture moments of tranquility within our natural surroundings
