EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Natsume, dating back to the 17th century. Housed in the esteemed Collection of State Oriental Art Museum in Moscow, this exquisite object is a true testament to the beauty and craftsmanship of Japanese art. The Natsume, made from delicate mother-of-pearl and meticulously painted with intricate designs, was an essential component of traditional tea ceremonies in Japan. Used as a tea caddy, it held powdered green tea known as matcha. The elegant teacup seen alongside it completes the set for a perfect tea-drinking experience. The image transports us to a serene tea house where one can imagine taking a peaceful break while indulging in the rich flavors of fine Japanese tea. The golden lacquer embellishments on both the Natsume and teacup add an opulent touch that reflects the refined taste prevalent during that era. Attributed to Ogata Korin (1658-1716), one of Japan's most celebrated artists, this masterpiece exemplifies his mastery over applied arts. His influence on Japanese aesthetics is evident through his innovative use of materials and attention to detail. As we admire this remarkable photograph capturing centuries-old traditions, let us appreciate how art transcends time and borders. It serves as a reminder of our shared human heritage and offers glimpses into cultures far beyond our own.
