Looking Shy - The Manners of a Young Girl of the Meiji Era,
EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, dates back to the late 19th century, specifically 1888. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and traditional customs of Japan during the Meiji Era (1868-1912). The print depicts a young woman, elegantly dressed in a traditional kimono adorned with a checkered pattern, her hair styled in an intricate updo. She stands before us with a demure expression, her hand gently covering her mouth, her posture exuding a sense of timidity and shyness. The delicate details of her clothing, from the intricate patterns to the subtle folds, are rendered with remarkable precision and artistry, showcasing the masterful skills of Yoshitoshi and the woodblock printing technique. The title of the print, "The Manners of a Young Girl of the Meiji Era," suggests that this work is part of a series, possibly the "Thirty-Two Aspects of Customs and Manners" series, which explores various aspects of Japanese society and culture during the Meiji Period. The print's muted color palette, dominated by shades of yellow and brown, adds to the overall sense of nostalgia and historical authenticity. This woodblock print is a treasure of Asian art and a valuable addition to any collection, offering a glimpse into the fashion, customs, and traditions of Japan during the Meiji Era. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The print's enduring appeal lies in its ability to transport us to a bygone era, inviting us to appreciate the beauty and richness of Japanese culture and history.
