EDITORS COMMENTS
Hour of the Tiger [4 am], Courtesan (Tora no koku, keisei) is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Customs of Beauties Around the Clock (Fuzoku bijin tokei)" created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1798 or 1800. This stunning work of art showcases two individuals, a courtesan and a man, dressed in traditional Edo Period clothing. The hour hand of the clock points to the fourth hour, symbolizing the hour of the tiger. The courtesan, elegantly dressed in a kimono adorned with intricate patterns, holds a kanzashi hair ornament in her hand. Her long black hair cascades down her back, adorned with delicate ornaments. The man, dressed in a formal obi and a robe, gazes intently at the courtesan, his expression a mixture of admiration and longing. The print is a masterpiece of color woodblock printing, with vibrant hues and meticulous attention to detail. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the artist's name, "Kitagawa Utamaro," and the title of the series, "Customs of Beauties Around the Clock." This print is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished in Japan during the Tokugawa Period. It provides a glimpse into the fashion and customs of the time, offering a window into Japan's rich cultural heritage. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
