The Jewel River of Plovers - A Glimpse into the Serene Beauty of Mutsu Province
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This polychrome woodblock print, created by Suzuki Harunobu in the 18th century, transports us to the enchanting realm of Mutsu Province. Titled "The Jewel River of Plovers" this masterpiece is part of Harunobu's renowned series called Six Jewel Rivers (Mu Tamagawa: Chidori no Tamagawa, Mutsu meisho). In this scene, we witness a picturesque river flowing gently through the countryside. The tranquil waters reflect the vibrant colors of nature and provide a serene backdrop for an array of plovers gracefully gliding above its surface. These elegant birds symbolize peace and harmony in Japanese culture. Adding depth to this idyllic setting are two children dressed in traditional Edo period attire. A young boy wearing a hat stands on one side while a girl adorned with an exquisite kimono and obi stands on the other. Their presence infuses innocence and playfulness into this poetic landscape. Harunobu's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical beauty but also evoking emotions through his artistry. This piece seamlessly combines elements from literature, geography, and heritage art to create an immersive experience that transcends time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection, this woodblock print continues to captivate viewers
