The Bride Traveling in the Rain, from the series 'The Foxes Wedding', 1765
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This color woodblock print, created by Tachibana Minko during the Edo period in Japan, transports us to a whimsical world filled with enchantment and satire. The artwork depicts a scene from an unusual wedding procession where foxes take on human roles. In this particular print, we witness the bride's entourage braving the elements as they journey through the countryside. Despite the pouring rain, their determination is evident as they carry her palanquin or sedan chair along the muddy road. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring life to each character and highlight their unique personalities. Minko's attention to detail is remarkable; every aspect of this composition tells a story. From the mischievous expressions of the fox porters to their meticulously crafted traditional attire, it is clear that no detail was overlooked. Through his artistry, Minko not only showcases his technical skill but also offers a satirical commentary on societal norms and expectations surrounding weddings during that era. This print serves as both entertainment and social critique – inviting viewers to reflect upon cultural traditions while enjoying its visual beauty. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this woodblock print stands as a testament to Japanese artistic heritage and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm.
