EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodblock print titled "Young Couple Enjoying the Cool of Evening" created by Shiba Kokan during the Edo period in Japan, we are transported back to a serene and romantic scene from the 18th century. The image showcases a beautifully dressed young couple immersed in the tranquility of a walled garden. The man, wearing traditional Japanese attire, stands tall with his hand gently gesturing towards his lover. His platform shoes known as geta add an elegant touch to his ensemble. Meanwhile, the woman gracefully holds a delicate fan in her hand, symbolizing both beauty and grace. As they enjoy the coolness of the evening, their love for each other is palpable. Their clothing reflects the fashion trends of that time - vibrant colors and intricate patterns adorn their garments, highlighting their status and taste. Surrounded by lush greenery and blossoming flowers within the courtyard's boundaries, this idyllic setting evokes feelings of peace and serenity. The artist skillfully captures not only their physical appearance but also conveys a sense of emotional connection between them. Shiba Kokan's woodblock print serves as an exquisite example of ukiyo-e artistry from Japan's Tokugawa period. It transports us to another era while reminding us that love knows no bounds across time or culture.
