EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Carriages drawn by oxen, 1663" takes us back to the Edo period in Japan. Created by Hishikawa Moronobu, a renowned artist of the time, this woodblock print is part of Volume I of the "Soga Monogatari" – a collection of stories from Japanese literature. The image showcases two sturdy oxen pulling carriages along a country road. The simplicity and elegance captured in this monochrome artwork transport us to a different era, where ox carts were an essential mode of transportation. The attention to detail in depicting the animals' strength and determination is remarkable. Louise Norton Brown's book on block printing and book illustration in Japan provides valuable context for appreciating this piece. Published in 1924 by George Routledge & Sons Ltd. , it offers insights into Moronobu's artistic school and his contribution to ukiyo-e (woodblock prints). As we gaze upon this timeless scene frozen within the pages of history, we are reminded not only of the beauty found within art but also how it can serve as a window into another time and place. This photograph print captures both the skillful craftsmanship behind traditional Japanese woodblock prints and our fascination with centuries-old modes of transportation.
