EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Courtesan Hanamurasaki of the Tamaya" from the series "Courtesans of the Five Festivals" (Yukun gosekku), dates back to the early 19th century in Japan. Created by the renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro, this masterpiece showcases the exquisite beauty and elegance of Hanamurasaki, a courtesan from the Tamaya brothel during the Edo period. Utamaro's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the intricate patterns and colors of Hanamurasaki's kimono, adorned with roses and other floral motifs. Her elaborate hairstyle, held in place by a decorative hair ornament (kanzashi), adds to her allure. The courtesan sits gracefully, holding a teapot in one hand and a cup in the other, suggesting the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. The Oban-sized print, which measures approximately 14.5 x 10 inches, is a prime example of the Ukiyo-e artistic school, showcasing the unique style of the time. The Courtesan Hanamurasaki of the Tamaya is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Japan during the Tokugawa period. This stunning piece of art, with its vibrant colors and intricate details, is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or the history of clothing. The Courtesan Hanamurasaki of the Tamaya continues to captivate viewers with her timeless beauty and the glimpse into the past it provides.
