EDITORS COMMENTS
Soga Brothers Bid Farewell to the Summer Grasses," is a captivating and poignant woodblock print from the Illustrated Tale of the Soga Brothers series, created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1843 and 1847. This masterpiece of the Edo period (1603-1868) showcases the brothers Goro Soga no Tokimune and Juro Soga no Sukenari, who are depicted in traditional samurai attire, standing in a tranquil garden amidst a backdrop of autumnal hues. The brothers are surrounded by the lush greenery of the summer grasses, which are beginning to wither, signifying the passage of time and the impending departure of the brothers. The print is a stunning example of the Oban size (25.8 x 37.3 cm) color woodblock printing technique, with intricate details and vibrant colors. The brothers are depicted in profile, with their faces expressing a sense of melancholy and acceptance. The cartouche at the bottom of the print contains calligraphy by Hiroshige I, adding to the artistic value of the piece. The Soga Brothers are legendary figures in Japanese literature, known for their tragic love story and their loyalty to each other. This print captures a poignant moment in their lives, as they bid farewell to the summer grasses and prepare for their own departure. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its stories and traditions. This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any art collection, and its intricate details and vibrant colors make it a beautiful and thought-provoking piece to display in a gallery or art institute. The print's connection to Japanese literature and history adds to its cultural significance, making it a must-have for anyone interested in the arts of Asia.
