EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating photo print, titled "Act VII (Shichidanme), from the series 'Perspective Pictures of the Storehouse of Loyal Retainers'" takes us back to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by Kitao Masayoshi, a renowned artist of that time, this piece is part of a larger collection known as "Uki-e kanadehon Chushingura". The image showcases a busy scene filled with color and drama. The horizontal o oban format allows for an expansive view into the interior setting where men and women gather in a group. Among them stands a prominent male figure, possibly Mugino Orochimaro or one of the loyal league members known as ronin. The use of gold accents adds richness to the composition while pink hues provide contrast and visual interest. Masayoshi's mastery in block printing is evident through his attention to detail and skillful portrayal of perspective. "Perspective Pictures of the Storehouse of Loyal Retainers" was inspired by Kisho Tengo's play "Kanadehon Chushingura" which narrates tales from Japanese literature. This artwork not only captures historical events but also reflects cultural heritage and artistic traditions unique to Asia. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this print invites viewers on a journey through time, offering glimpses into Japan's rich artistic school during the 18th century. It serves as a testament to Kitao Masayoshi's talent as well as his contribution to preserving Japanese art history for generations to come.
