EDITORS COMMENTS
Applying Powder to Neck" is a captivating color woodcut print created by the renowned Japanese artist Toyohara Chikanobu (1838-1912), also known as Yoshu Chikanobu, in 1897. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the rich cultural traditions of the Far East, particularly the intricate world of cosmetics and fragrances in Japan during the late Meiji period. The print depicts a beautifully adorned woman, her elegant neck bared, as she leans forward to apply powder to her skin. The artist masterfully captures the delicate moment, with the woman's graceful posture and the gentle expression on her face. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene garden, with a fragrant bouquet of flowers adding to the sensory experience. The use of vibrant colors and intricate detailing is characteristic of the ukiyo-e style, a genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period. The woman's kimono is adorned with intricate patterns and delicate embroidery, while her long, flowing hair is styled in an elegant chignon. The powder container and brush she uses are also finely detailed, adding to the overall sense of refinement and elegance. The application of powder was an essential part of the daily beauty routine for Japanese women during this time. Powder, made from rice bran or other natural ingredients, was used to cover the skin and provide a smooth, even complexion. The use of fragrant powders and perfumes was also popular, adding to the sensory experience of the beauty ritual. This stunning print, "Applying Powder to Neck" by Chikanobu, is a window into the rich cultural traditions of Japan and the intricate world of cosmetics and fragrances in the late Meiji period. It is a beautiful example of the fine art of ukiyo-e and a reminder of the enduring allure of the Orient.
