Honoring the Three Gods of Poetry - Women Composing Poems, ca. 1792
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this woodblock print by Hosoda Eishi, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th century Japan during the Edo period. The artwork, titled "Honoring the Three Gods of Poetry" beautifully captures a scene where women gather in an elegant interior setting to compose poems. The artist's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke and color choice. Ink and delicate colors on paper bring life to each figure as they engage in their creative pursuit. The triptych format allows for a panoramic view that immerses us into this poetic realm. Amidst serene screens adorned with religious motifs, these talented female poets pay homage to three revered gods of poetry - Kakinomoto no Hitomaro, Sumiyoshi no Tamatsushima, and Hosoi Chobunsai. Their presence infuses the room with a sense of divinity and inspiration. As we observe these women engrossed in their craft, it becomes apparent that poetry was not solely reserved for men during this time. This print celebrates the significant role played by women in Japanese literature and showcases their intellectual prowess. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this heritage artwork serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural history and its reverence for artistic expression. It invites us to appreciate both the beauty found within its borders and the enduring legacy left behind by remarkable individuals like Hosoda Eishi
