Vase of Flowers with Grasshopper, Marine Life, and Garden Rock, late 1800s. Creator
Vase of Flowers with Grasshopper, Marine Life, and Garden Rock, late 1800s. A great interest in Western scientific studies developed in Japan during the late Edo period (1615-1868) and into the Meiji era (1868-1912). One outcome of this phenomenon in the visual arts was the detailed portrayal of plant, animal, and marine life. This painting is an assemblage of objects carefully observed from nature, but not usually seen together

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Vase of Flowers with Grasshopper, Marine Life, and Garden Rock" takes us back to the late 1800s in Japan. During this time, there was a surge of interest in Western scientific studies which greatly influenced the visual arts scene. This particular painting is a testament to that era. The artist, Okabe Ko, meticulously observed various elements from nature and skillfully brought them together in this composition. The assemblage of objects depicted here is not something one would typically see together - a vase filled with vibrant flowers, a curious grasshopper perched on top, marine life delicately swimming around it all while resting on a garden rock. Executed using ink and color on silk, this hanging scroll showcases the artist's attention to detail and mastery of technique. Each stroke brings life to every petal and scale portrayed within the artwork. As we admire this piece today at The Cleveland Museum of Art, we are transported back to an era where art became intertwined with scientific exploration. It serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in unexpected combinations when viewed through the lens of careful observation and artistic expression.
