EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to the Taisho era in 1925, showcasing a mesmerizing landscape of ancient Egypt. Created by the talented artist Yoshida Hiroshi, this colour woodblock print titled "Sphinx - Day" captures the essence of archeology and antiquity. The image depicts a majestic Sphinx statue standing proudly amidst the vast desert. The intricate details of this sculpture are brought to life through ink and vibrant colours on paper, highlighting its historical significance. A camel gracefully rests nearby, adding an authentic touch to the scene. Displayed at the Arthur M. Sackler Gallery in Smithsonian Institution, USA, this artwork is a true testament to Japanese artistry and cultural exchange. It was acquired through purchase and partial gift from H. Ed Robison. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported into an era where archaeology thrived and ancient wonders were unveiled. The fusion of Japanese artistic techniques with Egyptian subject matter creates a unique visual experience that captivates our imagination. This print not only celebrates the beauty of nature's creations but also pays homage to human achievements throughout history. It serves as a reminder of our shared heritage and encourages us to appreciate both ancient civilizations and their lasting impact on our world today.
