EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: This black and white woodblock print, titled "Man with kettle on a stove", was created by the talented Japanese artist Nishimura Shigenaga in the early-mid 18th century. The print is part of the renowned aka-hon or small-pox book called "Aka-Hon Sarukani Gassen", which was beautifully illustrated by Shigenaga. The image showcases a man kneeling beside a traditional stove, carefully tending to a boiling kettle. The intricate details captured in this artwork transport us back to the Edo period in Japan, offering an intimate glimpse into daily life during that time. Published as part of Louise Norton Brown's book "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" in 1924, this woodblock print exemplifies the artistic excellence and mastery of ukiyo-e style prevalent during the 18th century. Shigenaga's skillful use of monochrome tones brings depth and texture to his depiction of both human figures and their surroundings. As we admire this piece, we are drawn not only to its aesthetic appeal but also to its historical significance. It serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and offers valuable insights into traditional Japanese art forms. This remarkable woodblock print is now preserved for future generations thanks to Heritage Images' dedication to safeguarding such precious artworks from around the world.
