EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1795/96, showcases the exquisite beauty of Hanaogi of the Ogiya, one of the "Renowned Beauties Likened to the Six Immortal Poets" (Komei bijin rokkasen). Hanaogi, a courtesan from the Ogiya district in Kyoto, is depicted in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a stunning kimono adorned with intricate patterns of roses and other floral motifs. Her black hair, styled in an elegant chignon, is accessorized with delicate kanzashi hairpins and a rose ornament. The oban-size print, which measures approximately 26.5 x 37.5 cm, is a masterpiece of the color woodblock printing technique, with each color meticulously applied by the artist or his assistants using a paintbrush. The background is filled with a soft pink hue, adding to the overall sense of refinement and elegance. Hanaogi's portrait is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo period (1603-1868) and the Tokugawa shogunate (1603-1868), which placed a great emphasis on the appreciation of beauty and the arts. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, showcasing the rich heritage and cultural traditions of Japan during this period. The image of Hanaogi, with her serene expression and graceful pose, invites the viewer to contemplate the beauty and artistry of the past, and serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Japanese art on global culture.
