EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a courtesan making a parade in 1816, as depicted by the renowned artist Hokusai. The colour woodcut showcases the intricate details and vibrant colors that bring this scene to life. Measuring at 35.5x16.5 cm, this artwork is housed in the Art Gallery and Museum at Kelvingrove in Glasgow, Scotland. Hokusai's mastery shines through his calligraphic strokes and precise inscription, adding depth and meaning to this ceremonial moment. The words written on the print evoke a sense of tradition and ceremony, transporting viewers back to Japan's Edo period (1603-1868) under the Tokugawa rule. The courtesan herself exudes grace and elegance as she walks with confidence along her path, adorned in traditional costume that reflects her status within society. This portrayal offers a glimpse into Japanese culture during this era, showcasing both beauty and sophistication. Enzo Di Cosmo's skillful capture of this artwork allows us to appreciate every detail with clarity while preserving its historical significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to another time and place – immersing ourselves in Asian artistry at its finest.
