EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a magnificent Mat for the display of a tea-leaf storage jar, known as shikigoromo, dating back to the mid 16th to mid 17th century in Japan. The delicate craftsmanship and intricate design are evident in this silk masterpiece, measuring 25.4x25.2 cm. Displayed at the Freer Gallery of Art, Smithsonian Institution in the USA, this artifact is a true testament to Japanese artistry and cultural heritage. The mat's vibrant colors and exquisite patterns draw viewers into a world where tea ceremonies were revered as an art form. The mat's origin can be traced back to China during the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644), showcasing its influence on Japanese textile traditions. Its fine damask fabric reflects both elegance and sophistication. Acquired through the generous support of Charles Lang Freer Endowment, this piece represents not only historical significance but also serves as a reminder of how art transcends time and borders. As we admire this photograph from Bridgeman Images, let us appreciate the rich history behind it - from its creation centuries ago to its preservation today within one of America's most esteemed institutions. This image invites us to delve deeper into the world of tea culture while marveling at the beauty that lies within each thread woven by skilled hands long ago.
