EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Group of Women on the Engawa of a Country House, in the time of the Cherry Blossoming" transports us to 19th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by Utamaro II, a renowned artist from the ukiyo-e artistic school, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The scene unfolds on an engawa, a traditional veranda that overlooks a picturesque river. A group of elegantly dressed women gathers here to revel in nature's beauty as cherry blossoms adorn nearby trees. The vibrant colors used in this print bring these delicate flowers to life and evoke a sense of joy and serenity. Amidst this idyllic setting, one woman gracefully plays the samisen—a traditional Japanese musical instrument—adding melodic notes that harmonize with nature's symphony. The stairs leading down from the engawa hint at further exploration into this enchanting country house. Utamaro II skillfully captures not only the physical attributes but also portrays each woman's unique personality through their expressions and postures. Their presence adds depth and intrigue to an already mesmerizing composition. As we gaze upon this artwork housed within New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are reminded of Japan's rich cultural heritage and its profound connection with nature. Utamaro II invites us to immerse ourselves in springtime bliss while cherishing both artistry and Mother Nature herself.
