EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Old Man and Woman" takes us back to 17th-century Japan during the Edo period. Created by the renowned artist Ogata Korin, this ink and color on silk masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent in capturing human emotions and nature's beauty. In this painting, we see an elderly couple seated beneath a majestic tree trunk, engrossed in conversation. The old man leans forward attentively while the woman gestures animatedly with her hands, their faces reflecting a lifetime of wisdom and experience. Their weathered features tell stories untold, evoking a sense of nostalgia for days gone by. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate folds of their garments to the delicate plants surrounding them, each element adds depth and richness to the composition. This hanging scroll transports us into a serene countryside setting where time seems to stand still. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage art piece not only serves as a visual delight but also offers cultural insights into Japanese history. Although created centuries ago by unknown artists before being attributed to Ogata Korin or Ichinojo Koretomi (Ogata Koretomi), its timeless appeal continues to captivate viewers today. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork, we are reminded of the enduring power of human connection and our deep-rooted bond with nature—a testament that transcends time itself.
