EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Tiger, from the series 'Fashionable Twelve Signs of the Zodiac (Furyu juni shi)'" takes us back to 18th century Japan. Created by Isoda Koryusai, a renowned artist of the ukiyo-e genre, this woodblock print showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. In this piece, we see a young woman elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire. She sits gracefully against a screen adorned with vibrant green and yellow colors that beautifully complement her grey kimono. The tiger, symbolizing strength and power in Asian astrology, is depicted beside her as if it were her loyal companion. Koryusai's mastery of block printing techniques is evident in every stroke and line of this artwork. The intricate patterns on the woman's clothing showcase his skillful use of color woodblock prints, adding depth and dimension to the composition. As we admire this stunning portrayal of both human beauty and wildlife majesty, we are transported to an era where art seamlessly blended with science and culture. This piece not only represents Koryusai's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to Japan's rich heritage. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Art Gallery, this photograph captures a moment frozen in time—a harmonious fusion between nature-inspired motifs and traditional dress. It invites us to appreciate the delicate balance between humanity and its surroundings while celebrating centuries-old artistic traditions that continue to inspire awe today.
