EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Japanese Beauties, 1776" transports us to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. Created in 1886 by Wilhelm Greve, this chromoxylograph is a facsimile of an original work by Katsukawa Shunsho from his renowned series Seiro Bijin Awase kagami. The image showcases three elegantly dressed women, each exuding grace and beauty. Their colorful kimonos and intricate robes reflect the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of these ladies with precision. Seated and standing gracefully, these Japanese beauties epitomize femininity and poise. Their serene expressions suggest a sense of tranquility amidst their busy lives in bustling cities like Edo (now Tokyo). This artwork offers us a glimpse into the daily lives of women during that era. Wilhelm Greve's reproduction allows us to appreciate Katsukawa Shunsho's artistic genius while also honoring Japanese traditions. It serves as a testament to the enduring appeal and influence of Japanese art on Western culture. As we admire this print from "The Pictorial Arts of Japan" by William Anderson published in London in 1886, we are reminded that beauty knows no boundaries or time constraints. These enchanting figures continue to captivate viewers across centuries with their timeless allure.
