EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the whimsical world of 18th-century Japan with this stunning print by Kitagawa Utamaro, 'Ichi fuji ni taka san nasubi' (First dream: Fuji, hawks, and eggplants). Created between 1798 and 1801, this tri-panel woodcut masterpiece showcases a serene ferry scene on a tranquil lake, with Mount Fuji majestically rising in the background. The composition is alive with movement and activity as five women, four men, and a child navigate their way across the water.
The porter at the back of the boat is busy arranging baskets overflowing with vibrant purple eggplants, while one man proudly holds a falcon on his forearm. Another man poling the boat expertly guides them through the calm waters. Amidst this bustling scene, two couples sit together in quiet contemplation, lost in thought or perhaps sharing secrets.
Utamaro's use of color is breathtaking - from the soft blues and greens of nature to the bold reds and pinks of traditional clothing. Every detail is meticulously rendered in exquisite woodcut technique. This enchanting print not only captures a moment in time but also invites us to step into its idyllic world where beauty and tranquility reign supreme.
