EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite folding screen, titled "Cranes" and created by the renowned Japanese artist Ogata Korin (1658-1716) during the late 17th to early 18th century, is a masterpiece of the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japanese art. Housed in the esteemed Freer Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., this screen, also known as a byobu or paravent, is a stunning example of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that focused on the beauty of the natural world and everyday life. The screen is composed of two panels, each adorned with a serene landscape featuring elegant cranes wading in a tranquil pond. The cranes, depicted in graceful poses, are rendered with meticulous detail, their feathers delicately brushed with gold and ink on paper. The water's surface is subtly textured, reflecting the trees and clouds above. The landscape is further enhanced by intricate woodcut designs that frame the central image, adding depth and dimension to the composition. The use of gold colour on the paper adds a sense of opulence and luxury to the piece, making it a fitting addition to the homes of the wealthy elite during the Edo period. The screen's folding design allowed it to be easily moved and displayed in various settings, making it a versatile and desirable piece of art. Ogata Korin was a leading figure in the Rimpa school of Japanese painting, known for his innovative use of colour and his ability to capture the essence of nature in his work. This screen is a testament to his artistic prowess and his enduring influence on Japanese art history. The Freer Gallery of Art is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship of Japanese art from the past.
