Edo period at shin-hanga · Ukiyo-e, kacho-ga and seasonal observation
Hiroshige, Hokusai and Ohara Koson connect plant and animal at a moment of season: iris, plum tree, bamboo, sparrow, owl or tiger become the actors of a world observed with economy.
The Japanese tradition of images of flowers and birds, or kachô-ga, combines naturalistic observation, poetry and season. This collection expands the field to gardens, bamboo and animals. Utagawa Hiroshige frames an iris or plum branch as a foreground that opens towards a famous place in Edo. In Sparrows and Camellia, the small scene concentrates movement, snow and flowering. Katsushika Hokusai explores an even broader diversity: a bamboo stem can become a line exercise, while Tiger in the Snow combines animal strength and almost abstract space. At the beginning of the 20th century, Ohara Koson renewed kachô-ga in the context of shin-hanga. Owl, sparrows, ginkgo and bamboo are printed in subtle colored and gradient blocks, with the coordinated help of engravers, printers and publishers. In all these works, the emptiness of the paper remains active. It gives air to the branch, measures the flight of the bird and makes the silence of the snow or night sensitive. The selection "Flowers, birds and animals of Japan" notably compares Horikiri's iris garden - Hiroshige and Sparrows and Camellia - Hiroshige.
In the Japanese image of nature, a branch is never a setting: it carries the wind, the season and the precise movement of the animal that lands there.
