EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Fond of Sake (Sakezuki)," is a masterpiece created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro in the early 19th century. Part of his series "Eight Views of Favorite Things of Today," this artwork captures a moment of leisure and enjoyment in Edo-period Japan.
In the image, two elegantly dressed women are depicted enjoying sake, a traditional Japanese rice wine. Their intricate kimonos and carefully styled hair reflect the fashion and customs of the time. The detailed block printing technique used by Utamaro brings out vibrant colors and textures, adding to the overall charm of the scene.
Utamaro was known for his portraits of beautiful women, capturing their grace and elegance with precision. This particular piece showcases his skill in portraying everyday life with a touch of artistry.
As you gaze upon this print, you can almost hear the laughter and chatter between these two women as they savor their drink. It serves as a window into a bygone era, where simple pleasures like sharing sake with friends were cherished moments worth immortalizing in art.
