EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Barefoot men with parasols in the snow, 1811" transports us back to the enchanting world of Edo period Japan. Created by Naniwa Shunkosai and featured in the renowned "Ehon Shibai Banashi" this woodblock print captures a moment of unexpected beauty and intrigue. In this scene, we see a group of barefoot men bravely navigating through a snowy landscape, their colorful parasols providing both shelter and contrast against the white backdrop. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element - from the delicate footprints left behind by these courageous individuals to the intricate bridge that spans across a serene river. The juxtaposition between traditional Japanese attire and an unconventional choice like going barefoot adds an intriguing layer to this image. It invites contemplation about societal norms, individuality, and perhaps even rebellion against established conventions. Published nearly a century later in 1924 as part of Louise Norton Brown's comprehensive book on block printing and book illustration in Japan, this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless appeal. Its vibrant colors, meticulous craftsmanship, and unique subject matter make it a true gem within the ukiyo-e artistic school. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Naniwa Shunkosai's oeuvre, we are reminded once again of art's ability to transcend time and space while evoking emotions that resonate deeply within us all.
