EDITORS COMMENTS
It is good to cut one's fingernails" (Tsume tori yoshi) is a captivating woodblock print from the series "A Series for the Hanazono Group" (Hanazono bantsuzuki) created by the renowned Japanese artist Totoya Hokkei around 1822. This stunning artwork showcases a solitary female figure seated in a serene setting, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing. The woman wears a beautiful kimono with intricate blue and red patterns, accessorized with a simple white apron and a pair of sandals. Her long, flowing hair is styled elegantly, adorned with a delicate hairpin. The focus of the print, however, is not on her attire but on her self-care routine. With a small pair of scissors in her hand, she carefully attends to her fingernails, ensuring they are neatly trimmed and shaped. This simple act of hygiene is depicted with great attention to detail, from the precise lines of the scissors to the subtle expression of concentration on the woman's face. The print is a testament to the artistic skill of Totoya Hokkei, who masterfully combines elements of calligraphy, design, and block printing to create a visually striking and thought-provoking image. The use of color, particularly the contrast between the blue and red patterns, adds depth and dimension to the artwork. This print is an invaluable piece of Asian art history, showcasing the artistic school of the time and the importance placed on personal grooming and health in Japanese culture. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to be a source of inspiration and education for art enthusiasts and scholars alike.
