Description:
In this woodcut print titled "Mushikago o motsu wakazamurai, Young man holding an insect carrier" artist Utagawa Kunisada transports us to a world of delicate beauty and youthful curiosity. The image portrays a young samurai, known as a wakazamurai, delicately cradling an insect carrier in his hands. The vibrant colors used by Kunisada bring life to the scene, highlighting the intricate details of both the samurai's attire and the container he holds. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are drawn into a moment frozen in time - a glimpse into the intersection between nature and human fascination. The young man's expression reveals awe and wonderment as he gazes at his tiny captives within their temporary home. Kunisada masterfully captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys emotions through his artistry. We can almost feel our own sense of childlike excitement welling up within us as we witness this encounter with nature through his eyes.
Author:
Utagawa Kunisada (Japanese: 歌川 国貞; 1786 – 12 January 1865), also known as Utagawa Toyokuni III (三代 歌川 豊国, Sandai Otagawa Toyokuni), was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist. He is considered the most popular, prolific and commercially successful designer of ukiyo-e woodblock prints in 19th-century Japan. In his own time, his reputation far exceeded that of his contemporaries, Hokusai, Hiroshige and Kuniyoshi.
