EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Kisegawa of the Matsubaya, Sasano, Takeno" (Matsubaya uchi Kisegawa, Sasano, Takeno), is a masterpiece by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro from the late 18th century. This print is part of the series "Seven Komachi of Yoshiwara" (Seiro nana Komachi), and depicts Kisegawa, a courtesan from the Matsubaya brothel in the red-light district of Yoshiwara, Tokyo. Kisegawa is shown in a profile view, wearing a stunning kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Her long, black hair is styled in an elegant updo, held in place by delicate kanzashi hairpins. Her attendants, Sasano and Takeno, are depicted in the background, dressed in similar attire, adding to the overall sense of opulence and luxury. The print is a prime example of the ukiyo-e artistic style, which flourished during the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. Ukiyo-e translates to "pictures of the floating world," reflecting the transient nature of life and the pursuit of pleasure and beauty. This print is a testament to the artistic innovation and skill of Utamaro, who is known for his meticulous attention to detail and ability to capture the essence of his subjects. The print is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the traditional clothing and customs of Japan during the 18th century. The intricate calligraphy and bold use of color add to the overall beauty and allure of the print. This woodblock print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, and history.
