EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, titled "Saddle, Horse-Dipper and Other Harness" captures the essence of 19th-century Japanese equestrian culture. Created by the talented artist Kubo Shunman during the Edo period, this artwork showcases his mastery of ink and color on paper. The print depicts an array of riding equipment meticulously arranged in a still life composition. A beautifully crafted saddle takes center stage, adorned with intricate details that highlight both its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Surrounding it are various harnesses, including a whip and ladle used for horse-dipping rituals. Shunman's attention to detail is evident in every element of this piece. The tiger skin draped over the saddle adds a touch of exoticism while symbolizing strength and power. The use of vibrant colors brings life to each object, showcasing Shunman's artistic skill. As we gaze upon this heritage art from 19th-century Japan, we are transported back in time to witness the country's rich equestrian tradition. This woodblock print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers us valuable insights into Japanese history and culture. Today, this remarkable artwork can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it continues to captivate visitors with its beauty and historical significance. Kubo Shunman's legacy lives on through his masterful creations like this one – reminders of Japan's enduring artistic heritage.
