EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant woodblock print, titled "Party of falconers near river" captures the essence of 18th-century Japan during the Edo period. Created by Utagawa Toyohiro, a renowned artist of his time, this diptych transports us to a picturesque scene where nature and human activity harmoniously coexist. In this artwork, we witness a group of falconers indulging in their beloved pastime along the tranquil banks of a meandering river. The men are dressed in traditional attire, showcasing the intricate details of their clothing and armor. Interestingly, what sets this image apart is the presence of women wearing trousers - a departure from societal norms at that time. The composition beautifully depicts various elements: majestic birds perched on gauntleted hands; elegant horses ridden by skilled horsemen; and playful dogs accompanying their masters. Each character exudes an air of confidence as they engage in falconry with utmost precision and grace. As our eyes wander through this masterpiece, we can almost hear the soundscape: laughter mingling with bird calls and hooves gently treading upon earth. It is evident that for these individuals, falconry was not just an occupation but also a cherished hobby - one that brought them closer to nature's wonders. Utagawa Toyohiro's artistic prowess shines through every brushstroke and color choice in this print. It serves as both an aesthetic delight for art enthusiasts and a valuable historical document preserving Japanese heritage. Displayed proudly within The Art Institute Chicago or any art center worldwide, this piece invites viewers to immerse themselves in centuries-old traditions while marveling at its timeless beauty.
