EDITORS COMMENTS
Act Eleven from the Series 'The Chushingura Drama Parodied by Famous Beauties (Komei)' is a captivating and colorful woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, created around 1794-95. This stunning diptych, also known as an oban diptych, is a parody of the famous play 'Kanadehon Chushingura' or 'The Loyal League of the Forty-Seven Ronin.' The print depicts the eleventh act of the drama, where the loyal retainers, dressed in traditional kimono, are shown gathered inside, planning their revenge against the treacherous lord who dishonored their master. The scene is set indoors, with two doors opening to reveal the group of men in deep conversation. The contrasting colors of green and pink add depth and vibrancy to the print, while the intricate details of the clothing and accessories showcase the artistic skill of Utamaro. The beautiful women in the print, represented by the famous beauties of the time, add an element of allure and elegance to the scene. Their presence serves to highlight the contrast between the serious and somber mood of the men and the lighter, more playful tone of the parody. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo period, which valued the representation of everyday life and the portrayal of human emotion. This oban diptych is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of Japanese art, literature, or fashion. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and engaging composition make it a true masterpiece of the 18th century.
