EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ushiwaka-maru on the Gojo Bridge" is a remarkable piece of art created by Ippitsusai Buncho in the 18th century. The print showcases a serene winter scene set during Japan's Edo period, capturing the essence of this historical era. In the foreground, we see a male figure gracefully gesturing while standing on Gojo Bridge, overlooking an estuary covered in snow. Dressed in traditional clothing and wearing geta (platform shoes), he exudes elegance and poise. The intricate details of his attire, including his clogs and flowing robes, highlight the artist's meticulous attention to detail. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the majestic heron perched on top of a newel post nearby. With its long beak and graceful stance, it adds an element of tranquility to the wintry landscape. The use of color in this woodblock print is masterful; subtle shades create depth and evoke a sense of calmness. Buncho's skillful technique shines through as he expertly captures both natural elements like water and geographical features such as bridges with precision and finesse. This reprint from 1769 serves as a testament to Buncho's artistic prowess and provides us with insight into Japanese heritage art. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this woodblock print invites viewers to immerse themselves in Japan's rich cultural history while appreciating its artistic legacy. It serves as a reminder that
