EDITORS COMMENTS

This exquisite woodblock print, created during the Edo period, showcases the artist's mastery in capturing both beauty and symbolism. In this artwork, we see a group of men seated in front of an elegant screen adorned with calligraphy. These individuals are none other than the Six Immortal Poets, revered figures in Japanese literature known for their timeless verses. As they engage in conversation and exchange ideas, their animated gestures suggest lively discussions about art and poetry. Flying geese gracefully soar across the scene against a backdrop of olive green hues that evoke tranquility and harmony with nature. The inclusion of metallic pigments adds depth and richness to the composition while emphasizing its artistic value. A remarkable feature within this piece is a pagoda ingeniously constructed from shimmering coins. Symbolizing prosperity and fortune, it serves as a testament to Japan's flourishing economy during this era. Kubo Shunman's meticulous attention to detail combined with his skillful use of color creates an immersive experience for viewers. Each element within "No. 7: Votive paintings. .
