EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite specialties of Yanagiya in Odawara-cho during the 19th century. Part of a remarkable album of woodblock prints surimono, this piece is a testament to the artistic brilliance of Totoya Hokkei and his contemporaries from the Edo period. Intricately detailed, the image depicts Tai Fish and Lobster, two prized aquatic creatures that were highly sought after delicacies in Japan at that time. The skillful use of ink and color on paper brings these marine treasures to life, capturing their vibrant essence with remarkable precision. The composition not only highlights the beauty of these crustaceans but also pays homage to Japanese heritage art. With its meticulous printing technique and attention to detail, this woodblock print exemplifies the mastery achieved by artists such as Hokkei, Iwakubo Kinemon, Kien Hokkei, Kyosai Hokkei, Kiko Hokkei, Uoya Hokkei among others. As we gaze upon this still life masterpiece today in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, we are transported back in time to an era when ukiyo-e prints flourished as a popular form of entertainment. This particular artwork serves as a window into both historical Japan and its rich culinary traditions. Let us appreciate this stunning representation of Tai Fish and Lobster; it not only celebrates nature's bounty but also preserves an important chapter in Japanese artistic history for generations to come.
