EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Narcissus in Winter, from the series 'Choicest Odes upon Flowers of the Four Seasons'" captures a serene moment in 18th century Japan. The image depicts two women inside a traditional Japanese home during the winter season. One woman gazes out of the window, perhaps admiring the wintry landscape outside, while the other sits comfortably at a kotatsu, a low table covered with a heavy blanket. The kotatsu serves as both a cozy gathering place and source of warmth, as there is a charcoal brazier underneath it. This central heating method was commonly used during this time period to combat cold temperatures. The women are surrounded by nature's beauty as narcissus flowers adorn their surroundings. The woodblock printing technique used to create this artwork showcases intricate details and textures. Katsukawa Shuncho's skillful craftsmanship brings life to every element within the composition. This art piece provides us with an intimate glimpse into daily life in Edo period Japan. It highlights not only the importance of staying warm during harsh winters but also celebrates nature's resilience through blooming narcissus flowers. The juxtaposition between indoor comfort and outdoor tranquility invites viewers to appreciate both human ingenuity and natural wonders simultaneously. Displayed at Art Institute Chicago, this print reminds us of our connection to history and how art can transport us across time and cultures
