EDITORS COMMENTS
Hinazuru of the Keizetsuro, from the series Comparing the Charms of Beauties," is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1794 or 1795. This masterpiece showcases Hinazuru, a beautiful courtesan from the Keizetsuro clan, dressed in elegant Edo Period attire. The oban-size print, which measures approximately 25.7 x 18.6 cm, is a stunning example of the artist's skill in color woodblock printing. Hinazuru is depicted wearing a pink and purple kimono adorned with intricate patterns and a matching obi sash. Her long, flowing hair is styled in an elaborate updo, adorned with kanzashi hairpins and a handkerchief. She holds a rose in one hand, adding to the allure of her portrait. The cartouche at the bottom of the print identifies her as Hinazuru of the Keizetsuro clan. This print is part of Utamaro's series "Comparing the Charms of Beauties," which showcases various beauties of the time, highlighting their unique features and allure. The series was popular during the Tokugawa Period and is considered an important contribution to the ukiyo-e artistic tradition. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is cherished as a significant piece of Asian art and cultural heritage. The intricate details, vibrant colors, and Utamaro's masterful use of woodblock printing techniques make this print a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, or the history of the Edo Period.
