EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Wild Geese" takes us back to the year 1855, when it was published by Otaya Takichi. Created as a colour woodblock print by Kunisada Utagawa (Toyokuni III), this artwork is now part of a private collection. The image showcases the character Seigan in traditional Japanese costume, drawing an intriguing comparison between human characters and birds. The artist ingeniously uses wild geese to symbolize Seigan's journey or perhaps his personality traits. In this nocturnal scene, we see Seigan standing tall with a walking stick in hand, wearing a ragged straw hat and traditional dress. The broken flight of one goose adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the composition. The use of vibrant colours brings life to the illustration, while the intricate details highlight the skillful craftsmanship involved in creating this woodblock print. As we admire this piece, we can't help but imagine ourselves transported back in time, witnessing Seigan's story unfold amidst nature's beauty. This artwork not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into Japanese culture and artistic traditions. With its timeless appeal and cultural significance, "Wild Geese" continues to captivate viewers even after all these years.
