EDITORS COMMENTS
A Passing Palanquin, from the series 'Scenes of Flower-viewing at Ueno' (Ueno hanami no tei), captures a captivating moment in 17th century Japan. This black and white woodblock print by Hishikawa Moronobu showcases the bustling streets of Edo during the Tokugawa period. In this scene, we witness a procession of palanquins being carried by barefooted porters through the country road. The intricate details and skilled block printing technique bring to life the vibrant energy and cultural heritage of this era. The image beautifully depicts both male and female servants diligently fulfilling their occupation as they transport these elegant sedan chairs. The viewer is transported back in time, experiencing a glimpse into the daily lives of people during this period. Moronobu's mastery lies not only in capturing human figures but also in portraying their movements with grace and fluidity. Each body seems to be in perfect harmony with its surroundings, creating an atmosphere that is both serene and lively. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago, it serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time, allowing us to appreciate historical moments while connecting us to our shared humanity across centuries.
