EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures a mesmerizing scene from the 18th century, showcasing "Calligraphy" as part of the series "Fashionable Versions of the Four Accomplishments (Furyu kinkishoga)". Created by Isoda Koryusai, a renowned Japanese artist, this woodblock print exemplifies the artistic mastery and cultural heritage of Japan. In this image, two women dressed in traditional kimonos are engrossed in reading calligraphy. The elegant black and brown colors beautifully contrast with their pink attire, adding an element of grace to the composition. The intricate block printing technique used here enhances every detail, making it a visual delight for art enthusiasts. This artwork not only represents accomplishment but also reflects the success and achievements of women during that era. It symbolizes their dedication towards mastering calligraphy as one of the four accomplishments valued in society at that time. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this piece is a testament to Koryusai's skillful portrayal of Japanese culture and tradition. Its presence within this prestigious art center further solidifies its significance within both historical and contemporary contexts. As we admire this remarkable creation by Isoda Koryusai, we are transported back to 18th-century Japan - a world where artistry thrived and traditional customs were celebrated. This photograph serves as a reminder of our rich artistic heritage while offering us an opportunity to appreciate the beauty found within centuries-old masterpieces like "Calligraphy".
