EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating woodblock print, titled "View of Narumi" takes us on a journey through the bustling streets of ancient Japan. Created by Kunisada, Utagawa (Toyokuni III), this colourful artwork showcases his mastery in ukiyo-e style. The print depicts a picturesque scene from the famous Tokaido Road, specifically Narumi, with its charming drapers shops and lush green trees separating them. The background is inspired by Hiroshige's design for the First Tokaido, adding depth and authenticity to the composition. In the foreground, we see a woman gracefully walking on red clouds while wearing a beautiful kimono and headcloth. She carries four square boxes and one fan case delicately balanced in her arms. Her presence adds an element of elegance to the otherwise busy street. Travellers passing by on horseback and kago (a traditional Japanese palanquin) add movement to the scene as they navigate along the lime-green road. The attention to detail is remarkable; every figure exudes life-like qualities. Published by Moriya Jihei (Kinshind?) and Sanoya Kihei (Kikakud?), this woodblock print bears Gototei Kunisada ga's signature along with censors seal: Kiwame, and publishers seal: Sano-hei, Mori. Displayed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, this stunning piece allows us to immerse ourselves in Japan's rich cultural heritage while appreciating Kun
