EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite piece of Japanese art from the 19th century. Created by the talented artist Koma Kyuhaku, this Inro is adorned with intricate carvings depicting the animals of the Zodiac. The vibrant colors and meticulous attention to detail make this piece a true masterpiece. The Inro, a traditional Japanese container, is beautifully lacquered in gold, adding a touch of opulence to its already stunning design. Its decorative nature reflects Japan's rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions. Accompanying the Inro are delicate netsuke, small sculptural objects used as toggles for securing personal items like pouches or boxes. These intricately carved accessories further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of this ensemble. The Animals of the Zodiac hold significant meaning in astrology and symbolize various traits and characteristics associated with each animal sign. This artwork not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also represents a fusion between art and science. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Asia gallery, this photograph captures every minute detail of Koma Kyuhaku's creation. It serves as a testament to Japan's mastery in lacquerware and their ability to create timeless pieces that continue to captivate viewers even centuries later. This print allows us to appreciate the beauty and skill behind this remarkable work of art while providing insight into Japan's rich artistic history.
