EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and intricate print titled "Bal Tama Three sacred treasures" is a captivating piece of Japanese art from the early 19th century. The print, created by Utagawa Sadakage, showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that characterizes traditional woodcut prints. In the center of the composition, we see a young girl engrossed in play, holding a ball in her hand while accompanied by an adorable cat. The gourd-shaped cartouche frames this delightful scene, adorned with stylized bats that symbolize good fortune and happiness in Japanese culture. The print also features two beautifully written poems, adding an additional layer of depth and meaning to the artwork. These verses further enhance our understanding of the emotions evoked by this charming depiction of innocence and joy. Measuring approximately 204 mm in height and 175 mm in width, this delicate paper print exemplifies the mastery of color woodcut techniques prevalent during this period. Its vivid hues bring life to every element within the composition, capturing our attention and transporting us into a world filled with beauty and wonder. As part of the Sugawararen poets association series titled "Sugawararen sanshu no jingitakara" this particular piece represents one among many treasured works produced during Japan's Edo period (c. 1830-1835). It serves as both a testament to artistic excellence and a window into Japan's rich cultural heritage.
