EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Landscape and Oharame (a woman from Ohara)" is a stunning sheet from Shinsai's untitled hexaptych, created in Japan during the early 19th century. The hexaptych is a collection of six folding screens, each featuring a unique scene. This particular scene showcases a serene landscape along the Ryuryukyo estuary, with a woman from Ohara, a small town in Chugoku, Japan, carrying an ox on the riverbank. The woman, dressed in traditional clothing, is shown with a determined expression as she skillfully balances the heavy load on her head. The ox, with its powerful build and gentle demeanor, complements the woman's strength and grace. The print is a masterpiece of color woodblock printing, with vibrant greens and whites dominating the scene. The landscape is depicted with intricate detail, from the winding river to the lush foliage and the distant mountains. The cartouche at the bottom left bears the artist's name, Shinsai, and the title of the work, "Ryuryukyo Shinsai." The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the everyday life of its people during the 19th century. The use of hanji, or traditional Japanese paper, adds to the authenticity and beauty of the work. The print is a treasure of Asian art and a must-see for anyone interested in the arts of Asia or the history of woodblock printing.
