EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Prosperous Flowers of the Elegant Twelve Months" by Koryusai, Isoda takes us on a journey into the world of Edo-period Japan. The colour woodblock print showcases intricate details and vibrant hues that bring to life a scene filled with both beauty and intrigue. In this particular image, we are transported to a traditional Japanese room where an intimate moment unfolds. A man can be seen diligently grinding ink, his focus unwavering as he prepares for what lies ahead. Meanwhile, a woman rests peacefully on the table nearby, her slumber adding an air of tranquility to the composition. However, hidden within this seemingly serene setting is an element of surprise - a peeping Tom discreetly observing from behind a screen. This unexpected twist adds an element of mystery and invites viewers to question their own assumptions about the scene before them. The artwork belongs to an illustrated book that corresponds each month with erotic scenes. It is part of Bristol Museum and Art Gallery's collection in the UK. The combination of landscape elements such as willow trees alongside illustrations depicting human relationships creates a harmonious balance between nature and humanity. Overall, this mesmerizing print captures not only exquisite craftsmanship but also offers glimpses into the complexities of human desires and societal norms during that era in Japan's history.
