EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and action-packed image captures a thrilling moment in the early 18th century, showcasing the sport of polo during Japan's Edo period. Created by Kano Eisenin Furunobu, this painting showcases his mastery of ink and color on silk. In this panoramic scene, we witness a group of agile Tartars engaged in an intense polo match. The players, mounted on their swift horses, demonstrate remarkable speed and agility as they maneuver across the field. Their determination to score is evident as they fiercely compete against one another. The lush countryside serves as the backdrop for this exhilarating competition. A red goal post stands tall at each end of the field, symbolizing victory and adding to the excitement of the game. The letterbox format enhances our viewing experience by providing a wider perspective. Kano Eisenin Furunobu skillfully portrays not only the fast-paced nature of polo but also captures its cultural significance during that era. This heritage art piece offers us a glimpse into Japanese history and highlights their appreciation for equestrian sports. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this scroll invites us to immerse ourselves in an ancient sporting tradition while marveling at Kano Eisenin Furunobu's artistic prowess.
