EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning polychrome woodblock print, titled "Selected Scenes from One Poem Each by One Hundred Poets: Poem by Emperor Koko, 19th century" captures the essence of winter in 19th-century Japan. Created by Utagawa Kunisada, a renowned artist of the ukiyo-e artistic school, this piece showcases his mastery of ink and color on paper. The scene depicts a woman elegantly dressed in a traditional kimono, gracefully navigating through a snowy landscape. Her vibrant clothing stands out against the wintry backdrop, adding a touch of warmth to the cold season. She is accompanied by an exquisite parasol and umbrella to shield herself from both snowfall and wind. Kunisada's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the intricate calligraphy representing Emperor Koko's poem to the delicate patterns on her kimono and footwear (geta), each element contributes to the overall beauty and authenticity of Japanese heritage art. As we admire this full-length portrayal, we are transported back in time to experience life during Japan's Edo period. The Metropolitan Museum of Art proudly houses this remarkable piece within its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its cultural significance. Utagawa Kunisada's woodblock print serves as a testament to his skill as an artist and provides us with a glimpse into Japan's rich literary traditions intertwined with nature’s ever-changing seasons.
