EDITORS COMMENTS
Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety as a Mirror for Children," created around 1843. The Paragons of Filial Piety are a collection of legendary stories that illustrate the importance of filial piety, or respect for one's parents, in Chinese and Japanese culture. In this print, Dashun is shown as a man dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, wearing a flowing kimono and a wide-brimmed hat. He is standing in front of a serene landscape, with a majestic elephant at his side. The elephant, a symbol of strength and loyalty, is believed to have carried Dashun's mother on its back during her labor, making it an integral part of the story. The intricate details of the print are truly impressive, from the delicate calligraphy that adorns the borders to the meticulously carved blocks that bring the image to life. The use of color is also noteworthy, with bold hues adding depth and vibrancy to the scene. This print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Utagawa Kuniyoshi during the Edo period. It is a valuable heritage piece that continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its beautiful composition and rich cultural significance." Location: Art Institute of Chicago, USA.
