EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant diptych print, titled "Parody of the Third Princess and Kashiwagi: Chapter 50: A Hut in the Eastern Provinces" is a stunning example of Japanese woodblock ban prints from the Edo period. Created by Utagawa Kunisada in 1858, this artwork is part of the lasting impressions of a late Genji collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The print depicts a scene inspired by "Genji Monogatari" an iconic work of Japanese literature. In this particular chapter, we find ourselves in a tranquil countryside setting where men and women are elegantly dressed in traditional kimonos. The attention to detail is exquisite, with every fold and pattern meticulously rendered. Adding whimsy to this composition are two feline companions - cats that have been personified within the narrative. One cat playfully leads its owner on a leash while another perches gracefully on top of a wooden hut nearby. These animals add charm and humor to an otherwise serene scene. Utagawa Kunisada's mastery shines through his use of color and composition, capturing both the beauty and essence of Japan's artistic heritage during the 19th century. This print serves as a testament to his skill as well as his contribution to ukiyo-e, an artistic school that flourished during this period. As we admire this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to experience life through the eyes of characters from "Genji Monogatari". It
