EDITORS COMMENTS
Onakatomi no Yoshinobu Ason: A Nobleman Contemplating Poetry and Nature in the Edo Period This woodblock print by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, titled 'Onakatomi no Yoshinobu Ason' from the series 'One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets' (Hyakunin Isshu Uba Ga Etoki), depicts Onakatomi no Yoshinobu Ason, a nobleman from the Heian period (794-1185), sitting by a campfire in the serene beauty of nature. The scene is set in the Edo period (1603-1868), as indicated by the oban size and the artistic style of the print. Yoshinobu Ason is dressed in elegant Heian period clothing, wearing a flowing kimono with intricate patterns and a wide-brimmed hat adorned with a feather. He holds a book in his hand, presumably the 'One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets' anthology, as the title suggests. The poem 'Ichiyusai' is inscribed on the book, adding to the literary theme of the print. The nobleman gazes intently into the flickering campfire, lost in thought as the embers cast an orange glow over his face. The tranquility of the scene is contrasted by the vibrant colors and dynamic brushstrokes used by Kuniyoshi, showcasing the artistic school's mastery of woodblock printing. The rich heritage of Japanese art is on full display in this print, which transports us to a time when poetry and nature were deeply intertwined, and the aristocracy reveled in the simple pleasures of life.
