EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print takes us back in time to the Meiji era of Japan, specifically to the year 1887. Created by Yasuji Inoue, a talented artist who sadly passed away at a young age, this colour woodblock print showcases some of the famous cities in Japan during that period. Measuring 17.8x23.6 cm, this small yet intricate artwork is housed in the prestigious Arthur M. Sackler Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in the United States. It was generously gifted by Ambassador and Mrs. William Leonhart. The print depicts bustling Japanese cities with their iconic architecture and lively streets filled with people going about their daily lives. From Tokyo to Yokohama, these places were significant hubs of activity and cultural exchange during that time. Notably, this artwork also features Corea (now known as Korea), highlighting its connection to East Asia through shipping routes and trade networks. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece, we are transported back to an era where travel was not as accessible as it is today. It reminds us of the rich history and diverse destinations that have shaped our world over centuries. With its vivid colors and meticulous details captured through woodblock printing techniques, this print serves as a timeless reminder of Japan's past glory while inviting us to explore these famous places ourselves - even if only through art.
