EDITORS COMMENTS
In this polychrome woodblock print titled "Love Letter (Kesobumi), 2193" created by Kajita Hanko during the late 19th to early 20th century, we are transported to a romantic scene in Meiji period Japan. The artist beautifully captures the essence of love and longing through his intricate use of ink and color on paper. A young woman, elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire, is depicted engrossed in reading a heartfelt letter. Her eyes sparkle with anticipation as she immerses herself in the words written on the page. The delicate details of her kimono and graceful posture reflect both femininity and strength. The setting exudes tranquility, with soft hues enveloping the room where our protagonist finds solace. Through this artwork, Kajita Hanko invites us into an intimate moment between two souls connected through their emotions expressed on paper. As we admire this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a reminder that love transcends time and place. It speaks to universal human experiences - the yearning for connection and understanding. "Love Letter (Kesobumi), 2193" not only showcases Kajita Hanko's mastery of ukiyo-e printing techniques but also offers us a glimpse into Japanese heritage art from centuries ago. This timeless masterpiece continues to captivate viewers today with its depiction of romance and its ability to evoke deep emotions within our hearts.
