Two Young Women on a Verandah Watching Plovers, ca. 1770
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This polychrome woodblock print by Shunsho takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century Japan. The scene depicts two young women leisurely observing a group of elegant plovers from the comfort of their verandah. As they stand against the backdrop of an idyllic country landscape, their graceful figures are beautifully captured in ink and color on paper. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the delicate feathers of the birds to the intricate architectural features that frame the verandah, each element adds depth and richness to the composition. The soft hues used for both sky and land create a serene atmosphere, inviting viewers into this tranquil moment. Shunsho masterfully combines artistry with literature in this piece as well. Inspired by Ki no Tomonori's poem about plovers wading along the shore, he brings together visual beauty and poetic expression seamlessly. As we gaze upon these young women engrossed in birdwatching, we can't help but be transported to a time when nature was cherished and moments like these were treasured pastimes. This Heritage Art print not only showcases Shunsho's skill as an ukiyo-e artist but also serves as a window into Japanese culture during the Edo period. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exquisite woodblock print continues
