EDITORS COMMENTS
The Waitress Osen of the Kagiya Teahouse, captured in this exquisite colour woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu around 1769-70, transports us to a bygone era of Japanese elegance and hospitality. Standing at an impressive height of 68.8 cm, this hashira-e print showcases the graceful figure of Osen as she fulfills her duties with utmost poise. Dressed in traditional attire, Osen's kimono drapes gracefully over her slender frame, while her delicate platform shoes add a touch of sophistication to her ensemble. With a ladle in hand and kettle nearby, she is ready to serve tea to discerning guests who frequent the renowned Kagiya Teahouse. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable; every fold on Osen's garment seems meticulously crafted and each strand of hair delicately rendered. The artist's skillful use of vibrant colors brings life to the scene - from the rich hues adorning Osen's clothing to the warm tones emanating from the teacups. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported into a world where time slows down and moments are savored over cups of steaming tea. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our fast-paced modern lives, there is beauty in taking pause and embracing moments shared with loved ones or simply appreciating solitude. This stunning piece now resides within The Art Institute of Chicago’s Clarence Buckingham Collection – an invaluable treasure that continues to captivate
