EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print from 18th century Japan, we witness a heartwarming encounter between the lucky god Ebisu and a young girl. The scene unfolds with the girl standing by a fence, her hand eagerly extended towards the ball that Ebisu has playfully taken from her garden. Perched on a ladder, Ebisu wears an expression of mischievous delight as he prepares to return the stolen treasure to its rightful owner. The intricate details in this artwork go beyond mere aesthetics. Above Ebisu, a decorative rope adorned with pine branches and Norway lobster signifies the arrival of New Year, symbolizing good fortune and prosperity for those who encounter it. Created by Masunobu during the period of 1770-1775, this paper-based colour woodcut stands as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage. As we gaze upon this enchanting image captured by Masunobu's skilled hands, we are reminded of the power art holds in immortalizing moments of joy and connection across time. This particular print encapsulates not only cultural traditions but also universal themes such as generosity and playful exchanges between humans and deities. With its vibrant colors and intricate composition, "Ebisu gives girl ball back" invites us into a world where divine intervention intertwines with everyday life. It serves as an enduring reminder that even amidst our daily routines, unexpected encounters can bring forth delightful surprises that bridge mortal existence with realms beyond our own imagination.
