Boys Maquerading as Daikoku and Ebisu, ca. 1780 - A Vibrant Glimpse into Edo Period Playfulness
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Kitao Shigemasa transports us back to the lively streets of 18th-century Japan during the Edo period. The image showcases two young boys, skillfully dressed in elaborate costumes, embodying the iconic deities Daikoku and Ebisu. With their mischievous grins and playful demeanor, these children effortlessly capture the essence of youthful exuberance. Their colorful attire, meticulously rendered with ink and color on paper, adds a touch of whimsy to this polychrome woodblock print. As we delve deeper into this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that thrived during this era. The boys' portrayal of Daikoku - symbolizing wealth and prosperity - alongside Ebisu - representing good fortune in business ventures - reflects both religious beliefs and societal aspirations. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece within its collection. Through Shigemasa's artistic vision, we witness not only a celebration of childhood innocence but also an exploration of traditional Japanese customs. Intricately woven into every brushstroke is a sense of joyous playfulness that transcends time. This photograph print serves as a testament to the enduring power art holds in preserving our past while igniting our imagination for generations to come.
