EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite stole from Ohi, Japan, dating back to the late Edo period (1789-1868) and Meiji period (1868-1912) in the 19th century. The creator of this remarkable piece remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to its allure. The stole is a true testament to Japanese craftsmanship and artistry. Its design features intricate patterns woven with silk and gold thread over lacquered paper strip warp float faced 21 z twill weave, creating a stunning visual effect. The use of metallic thread further enhances its opulence. Adorned with gold leaf decoration, this stole exudes elegance and sophistication. It is lined with silk plain weave similar in style design to another notable artifact (2002622), showcasing the rich heritage of Japanese textiles. Buddhist influences are evident in the stole's symbolism and religious undertones. This textile masterpiece not only serves as a decorative accessory but also holds cultural significance within its threads. Preserved at the Art Institute Chicago, this photograph allows us to appreciate the intricacies of this historical artifact from afar. Its vibrant colors and meticulous details transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into Japan's artistic legacy during these transformative periods. Though we may never know who created this extraordinary stole or for whom it was made, its beauty transcends time and continues to captivate viewers today.
