EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "JAPAN: ROOSTERS, 1859" we are transported back to the Edo period in Japan. The image showcases a fascinating scene of entertainment and camaraderie. Two men stand proudly, holding their prized fighting roosters with utmost care and admiration. These magnificent creatures exude strength and determination, ready for an intense battle. Meanwhile, a woman gracefully kneels beside them, delicately feeding a third rooster on the ground. Her presence adds an element of tenderness amidst the anticipation surrounding the impending cockfight. The vibrant colors captured in this woodcut by Katei Taki further enhance the visual impact of this historical moment. This artwork not only offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture during that era but also highlights the deep connection between humans and animals. It is evident that these individuals have formed strong bonds with their feathered companions, treating them with respect and nurturing them before they engage in combat. The Granger Collection has beautifully preserved this snapshot from history through their meticulous attention to detail in printing this image. As we admire it today, we can't help but marvel at how art enables us to travel through time and experience moments like these firsthand – where tradition meets excitement, beauty intertwines with strength, and humanity connects with nature's creations.
