Hana no Hito of Ogiya,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kikugawa Eizan, dates back to the 1810s. This masterpiece, a part of the Shijo school, showcases the elegant beauty of a courtesan named Hanando of Ogiya. Seated indoors, she is engrossed in thought, holding a book in her left hand, while her right hand is adorned with a delicate hair ornament (kanzashi) made of roses. The courtesan wears a stunning kimono with intricate patterns of pink and green hues, symbolizing the changing seasons. The vibrant colors and meticulous design are characteristic of the Ukiyo-e artistic style. The apparel is adorned with various accessories, including a sash (obi) and a long-sleeved jacket (haori), adding to the overall grandeur of the portrait. The interior of the room is equally captivating, with a subtle yet intricate patterned background that complements the courtesan's attire. The muted green color palette of the interior creates a serene atmosphere, contrasting with the bold and vivid colors of the courtesan's clothing. This exquisite woodblock print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese art and fashion. The portrait of Hanando of Ogiya, with her thoughtful expression and elegant attire, continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day.
