The Paragraph of Revenge in Kagamiyama, The First
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and enigmatic woodblock print by the renowned artist Utamaro. This mesmerizing artwork, housed at Bristol Museum and Art Gallery in the UK, transports viewers to a world of intrigue and vengeance. In this vivid scene, we witness a young woman poised on the edge of revenge. With a dagger clenched between her teeth, she exudes determination as she steps out from a well onto an elegant terrace. Her left breast exposed and barefooted, she embodies both vulnerability and strength. Utamaro's masterful use of color brings depth to this composition. The vibrant hues highlight every intricate detail - from the delicate patterns adorning her kimono to the sandal resting on the step behind her. The publisher Nishimuraya Cho ensured that this print met exacting standards with its Kiwame censors seal. Utamaro himself signed it with his distinctive brushwork - Utamaro hitsu. This artwork also hints at another fascinating aspect: "Patterns for Puppet Plays: One Section of Bamboo". It suggests that there may be more layers to this story than meets the eye – perhaps an enthralling tale unfolding within bamboo shadows. As we delve into this extraordinary piece by Bridgeman Images, we are invited into a realm where women take center stage as literary heroines seeking retribution through unconventional means. Let your imagination wander amidst themes of female empowerment, literature-inspired narratives, revenge-driven motives
