EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a section of a sheet from Utagawa Kuniyoshi's renowned series, "A Harimaze Mirror of Joruri Plays" specifically featuring the "Twenty-four Paragons of Filial Piety (Nijushiko)". Created in 1854 during the Edo period, this woodblock print exemplifies the artistic brilliance and cultural significance of Japanese ukiyo-e. The image is rendered in striking black and brown hues, with a circular shape that draws viewers into its intricate details. Each paragon is depicted within their own cartouche, highlighting their virtuous acts of filial piety. The close-up view allows us to appreciate the meticulous craftsmanship and skillful use of block printing techniques employed by Kuniyoshi. As we delve into this piece, we are transported back to 19th-century Japan, immersing ourselves in its rich heritage art. This artwork serves as both an educational tool and moral guide for children, emphasizing the importance of respect and devotion towards one's parents. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this woodblock print stands as a testament to Kuniyoshi's mastery as an artist and his contribution to Asian arts. It offers us a glimpse into Japan's Tokugawa period while reminding us of universal values that transcend time and place. With its timeless beauty preserved through careful preservation efforts, this print captures not only an exquisite still life but also invites contemplation on our own relationships with family and tradition.
