EDITORS COMMENTS
The Mouses Wedding (Nezumi no yome-iri)", 1804". This woodblock print, created by Hishikawa Sori in the early 19th century, transports us to a mesmerizing scene of a traditional Japanese bridal procession. Set against a backdrop of lush foliage and blooming cherry blossoms, this artwork captures the essence of Edo period culture. Intricately detailed and vibrant in color, this print showcases the skillful technique of block printing that was popular during this time. Every brushstroke brings to life the figures parading through the countryside on their journey towards marital bliss. The bride, adorned in an exquisite kimono with delicate patterns and layers of silk fabric, is carried upon an elegant palanquin or sedan chair known as a koshi-iri. She is accompanied by her entourage - men dressed in formal attire who ensure her safe passage along the winding road. Symbolizing good fortune and luck for both bride and groom, this print serves as more than just a visual masterpiece; it is also believed to possess talismanic qualities according to Japanese tradition. Displayed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago's Asian art gallery, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into Japan's rich artistic heritage. It embodies not only beauty but also cultural significance that has transcended time. Immerse yourself in history as you marvel at Hishikawa S
