EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print from the late Edo period of Japan (circa 1860) captures the essence of a traditional Japanese New Year's Day call, or "Oshogatsu Oshidan," a regional custom still practiced in some areas of Japan today. The image showcases two elegantly dressed individuals, a man and a woman, exchanging New Year's greetings while presenting each other with gifts. The man, wearing a formal kimono and hakama, holds a small package wrapped in paper, while the woman, adorned in a beautiful kimono and obi, offers a decorative box. The New Year is a time for renewal and fresh beginnings in Japanese culture, and the exchange of calls and gifts is an essential part of the celebration. This custom dates back to ancient times when people would visit their neighbors and friends to offer their well-wishes for the coming year. The gifts exchanged symbolize good fortune and the hope for a prosperous and healthy new year. The intricate details of the print, from the delicate folds of their clothing to the intricate patterns on the tatami mat floor, highlight the beauty and sophistication of Japanese art during the Edo period. The muted colors and soft brushstrokes evoke a sense of serenity and tranquility, making this print a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural traditions that continue to thrive in Japan.
