EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Japanese culture and tradition. Titled "Brocade Shell Nishikigai" it is a part of a series called "A Comparison Game of Poems" or "Kasen Awase". The image showcases a still life arrangement featuring various types of fabric, with an eye-catching red children's vest adorned with elegant white crane patterns stealing the spotlight. In the foreground, we see a fan in its packaging, which was commonly exchanged as a New Year's gift among traders during that time. Adding to the scene is a cash book placed on top of black cloth, symbolizing prosperity and financial stability for the upcoming year. Created specifically for the new year celebration in 1809, this print holds great significance. It includes two poems that further enhance its literary association with Oeda Ryuho's book titled "A Series of Shells as Brocade from the Coast" published in 1749. Measuring approximately 131mm by 184mm, this color woodcut print by Ryuryukyo Shinsai beautifully encapsulates Japan's rich artistic heritage. Its intricate details and vibrant colors make it an exquisite piece that not only serves as visual delight but also provides insight into historical customs and traditions.
