EDITORS COMMENTS
The Rambles of Motonobu, 18th century (1886) captures a serene moment in the life of renowned Japanese artist Kano Motonobu. In this print by Witherby & Co, Motonobu is depicted taking respite from his artistic pursuits, immersing himself in the beauty of nature. Seated on a path amidst lush countryside, Motonobu appears contented as he rests with a rucksack by his side. The intricate details engraved in the E-hon Yamato Hiji reveal the influence of Nishikawa Sukenobu's drawing that inspired this print. The image transports us to eighteenth-century Japan, where Motonobu's occupation as a painter and his passion for rambling intertwine harmoniously. As a traveller and backpacker, he finds solace in exploring different landscapes while carrying his tools of creativity. The composition exudes tranquility and invites viewers to appreciate both the simplicity and grandeur of nature. The trees surrounding Motonobu provide shelter and shade, symbolizing their connection to him as an artist who draws inspiration from their organic forms. This artwork not only showcases the talent of William Anderson's engraving but also pays homage to three influential figures: Nishikawa Sukenobu for his original drawing capturing Motonobu's essence; Kano Motonobu himself for his contributions to Japanese art; and Witherby & Co for immortal
