EDITORS COMMENTS
Courting Komachi (Kayoi Komachi), from the series Famous Scenes from Japanese Puppet Plays, captures a tender moment in Edo period Japan. This exquisite print by Okumura Masanobu transports us to a world of traditional theatre and courtship. The scene depicts a couple seated on a veranda, their figures illuminated by the soft glow of lanterns. The man, dressed in elegant robes, gazes shyly at his companion while she sits demurely beside him in her beautiful kimono. Their costumes reflect the fashion and style of 18th century Japan, showcasing intricate details and vibrant colors. Masanobu's mastery of block printing is evident in every brushstroke and delicate line. The composition is framed within a decorative cartouche that adds an air of sophistication to the artwork. This print not only showcases the artistic skill of Masanobu but also provides insight into Japanese culture during this time period. It offers a glimpse into the world of puppet theatre and joruri performances that were popular forms of entertainment among both commoners and nobility. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery fortunate enough to house it, we are reminded of the rich heritage preserved within these prints. They serve as windows into another era - one filled with beauty, tradition, and timeless love stories.
