EDITORS COMMENTS
Comb Rashomon (Sashigushi Rashomon), no. 3 from a series of 12 prints depicting parodies of plays, captures the essence of Edo period Japan in vibrant color and intricate detail. Created by renowned artist Okumura Masanobu, this hand-coloured woodblock print showcases his mastery in ukiyo-e, a popular art form during the eighteenth century. In this scene, we are transported to a bustling hairdressing salon where an elegant female figure sits patiently as her hair is meticulously combed by a skilled hairdresser. The combing process is depicted with such finesse that one can almost feel the gentle touch on their own scalp. The print not only highlights the beauty rituals of Japanese women during that time but also offers us a glimpse into their social lives and fashion trends. The elaborate hairstyles and traditional attire reflect the elegance and sophistication prevalent in Tokugawa-period society. Masanobu's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his brush, bringing life to each character present in the composition. From Genpachi's expressive face to the delicate patterns on their garments, every element tells its own story within this larger narrative. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago, this hand-tinted masterpiece serves as a testament to Masanobu's artistic genius and continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm.
