EDITORS COMMENTS
In this polychrome woodblock print surimono titled "Traveling Woman Pauses to Listen to a Warbler, 1797" we are transported back to the enchanting Edo period in Japan. Created by the talented artist Kubo Shunman, this piece beautifully captures a serene moment amidst nature. The scene depicts a female traveler who has momentarily halted her journey along the river's edge. With delicate ink and color on paper, Shunman skillfully portrays her deep connection with the surrounding environment. As she stands near an estuary, her attention is drawn towards a warbler perched on a branch above her head. The vibrant colors of the bird harmonize with its melodious song that fills the air. The woman listens intently, captivated by both the visual and auditory beauty unfolding before her eyes and ears. It is as if time stands still for this brief encounter between human and nature. This artwork not only showcases Shunman's mastery of ukiyo-e printing techniques but also serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage during the 18th century. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it allows us to appreciate how art can transport us across centuries and continents. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of our own journeys through life – those moments when we pause amidst our travels to truly listen and connect with our surroundings.
