简介

这部浮世绘作品集以四季为主题，采用日式经折装帧，书册与图卷分别装订，置于函套之中。拥抱季节的变化是日本本土信仰的重要组成部分，也是其艺术创作中的恒久主题。包括葛饰北斋、歌川广重、铃木春信在内的日本艺术家们，长期以来都在颂扬自然的循环往复与四季流转之美，描绘了从樱花树下迎春野餐到秋日祭月等丰富风俗。画中反复出现的季节性元素包括梅花、鸢尾、牵牛花、仙鹤、南飞的雁群等。部分作品聚焦于某个特定时节，也有不少画作将四季融于一体。这本典雅精美的画册是日本艺术与文化爱好者的理想礼物。这些经典浮世绘版画以一种独具日本特色、又具有普遍吸引力的视觉语言，传达了关于自然世界与人类体验短暂易逝的深刻真理。

This collection of ukiyo-e masterpieces celebrates the four seasons in a beautiful Japanese binding, featuring a separate book and leporello foldout in a slipcase. Embracing the changing seasons has long been an important component of native Japanese spirituality and a persistent theme in its artistic creations. Japanese artists from Hokusai and Hiroshige to Suzuki Harunobu have long celebrated the cyclical rhythms of nature and the beauty of the four seasons, depicting customs ranging from picnics under the cherry blossoms in spring to moon viewing festivities in the fall. Recurring seasonal motifs include plum blossoms, irises, morning glories, cranes, and geese flying south. While some focus on a particular season, many images also bring together all four seasons. This elegant album is the perfect gift for fans of Japanese art and culture. These classic ukiyo-e woodblock prints speak to profound truths about the natural world and the transience of the human experience in a visual language that is both characteristically Japanese and universally appealing.
