EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the exhilarating horse-racing scene at the Kamo Festival during the late 17th century. The image, part of the "Yamato Kosatu Esho" collection by Ishikawa Ryusen, takes us back in time to witness this traditional Japanese sporting event. The horses gallop with immense power and grace, their muscular bodies glistening under the sunlight. Jockeys clad in vibrant attire lean forward on their steeds, urging them towards victory. Spectators line the racecourse, their excitement palpable as they cheer for their favorite competitors. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this artwork from the Edo period. Every stroke of ink on paper showcases not only technical skill but also an artistic interpretation of movement and energy. The intricate calligraphy accompanying the print further enhances its cultural significance. Published in 1924 by Louise Norton Brown in her book "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" this piece continues to captivate viewers even after centuries have passed. It serves as a testament to both Japanese history and artistic excellence. As we gaze upon this remarkable woodblock print, we are transported into a world where tradition meets sport, where man and beast unite in pursuit of glory at one of Japan's most celebrated festivals – Horse-racing at the Kamo Festival.
