EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Kubo Shunman, titled "Cock, Hen, and Rising Sun" transports viewers to 19th century Japan. The artwork is part of the series "Seven Bird-and-flower Prints for the Fuyo Circle of Kanuma in Shimotsuke Province" showcasing Shunman's mastery of woodblock printing during the Edo period. In this close-up portrait, a majestic rooster and hen take center stage against a backdrop of vibrant colors. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the intricate feathers and lively expressions of these farm animals. The cockerel proudly stands tall with its golden plumage shimmering under the morning sun. The rising sun symbolizes not only a new day but also represents Japan itself as it emerges from darkness into enlightenment. This connection between nature and culture is further emphasized by delicate calligraphy adorning the print. Shunman skillfully combines artistry with scientific elements by incorporating celestial motifs such as stars and planets into his composition. This fusion creates an intriguing juxtaposition between earthly creatures and cosmic forces within one harmonious image. As we admire this heritage artwork at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back in time to witness both the beauty of Japanese wildlife and their deep cultural significance. Through Shunman's masterful technique and choice of subject matter, he invites us to appreciate nature's wonders while contemplating our place within a vast universe.
