EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dancer Hotoke Gozen at Gioji (image 3 of 3)" by Kobayashi Kiyochika, dates back to 1897 and is a stunning representation of the Meiji Era's artistic heritage in Japan. Part of Kobayashi's "Ancient Patterns" series, this triptych depicts a woman, believed to be the legendary Hotoke Gozen, dancing on a wintry veranda at Gioji Temple. The image exudes a sense of tranquility and nostalgia, as the woman, dressed in traditional attire, gracefully moves in the cold winter air. The color palette is dominated by cool tones, with the woman's red obi standing out against the muted winter landscape. The intricate details of her clothing and the delicate patterns on the engawa (veranda) are masterfully captured in the woodblock print. The setting, Gioji Temple, is a historic and culturally significant location in Japan. The temple, known for its beautiful autumn foliage, takes on a different charm in the winter season, as depicted in this print. The triptych format allows for a dynamic view of the scene, with each panel revealing a different perspective of the dancer and her surroundings. This print is a testament to Kobayashi Kiyochika's exceptional skill as an artist and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's rich cultural heritage. The image invites viewers to step back in time and experience the beauty and grace of a bygone era." This woodblock print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, particularly from the Meiji Era. The print's intricate details and beautiful color palette make it a standout piece in any collection.
