EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a Writing Set and Poem Card Box (Shikishi-bako) from the renowned Spring Rain Surimono Album. Created during the Edo period in Japan, between 1805-10, this piece is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of that era. The image captures the intricate details of this exquisite writing set, which includes an ink box, paintbrushes, and a calligraphy set. The vibrant colors used in this woodblock print bring life to each element of the composition. The delicate strokes of ink and color on paper demonstrate the skillful craftsmanship involved in its creation. The poem card box itself is adorned with elegant motifs inspired by nature, reflecting traditional Japanese aesthetics. It serves as both a functional item for storing poetry cards and as a work of art in its own right. Displayed within an album format at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this privately published surimono exemplifies ukiyo-e printing techniques popular during that time. Shinsai Ryuryukyo's mastery shines through his meticulous attention to detail and composition. This photograph invites viewers into a world where literature meets visual arts—a harmonious blend captured on paper centuries ago. It reminds us of Japan's cultural legacy and offers glimpses into daily life during the Edo period. A true treasure preserved at The Met for all to admire and appreciate for generations to come.
