EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Narihiras Eastern Journey" takes us back to the 17th century, during Japan's Edo period. The image is a double page illustration cut from the illustrated book "Panorama of Paintings on Screens and Hanging Scrolls (Byobu kakemono ekagami)" created by Hishikawa Moronobu, a renowned artist of his time. In this woodblock print, we witness an action-packed scene featuring horsemen traversing through majestic mountains. The riders are depicted with great detail, showcasing their skillful horsemanship as they navigate the rugged terrain. As they journey through this picturesque landscape, one cannot help but be captivated by the sheer beauty and power of nature. The eruption of a distant volcano adds an element of drama to the composition, symbolizing both danger and adventure that awaits these brave travelers. This artwork not only showcases Moronobu's mastery in block printing but also highlights his ability to capture movement and emotion within a static medium. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this piece represents one of many artistic treasures from Asia showcased in their prestigious art center. It serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage and offers viewers a glimpse into life during the Tokugawa period. "Narihiras Eastern Journey" is more than just an exquisite work of art; it transports us back in time while reminding us of humanity's eternal fascination with exploration and discovery.
