EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Eight Views of Tea-stalls in Celebrated Places" (Meisho koshikake hakkei) created by the Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1795/96. This exquisite work of art showcases a woman in traditional Japanese attire, intently examining her reflection in a hand mirror. The intricately detailed print reveals the elegance and beauty of the woman's kimono, adorned with vibrant green patterns and a striking collar. Her black hair is styled in an elaborate updo, held in place by kanzashi ornaments. The mirror, a symbol of vanity and self-reflection, adds an element of introspection to the scene. The woman's focused gaze and the reflection of her surroundings in the mirror create a sense of depth and dimension. The use of color woodblock printing techniques brings the rich hues of the woman's clothing and the mirror's ornate frame to life. This print is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. It is a valuable piece of heritage art that showcases the fashion and cultural traditions of the time. The Mirror print can be found in various art institutions and galleries around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago. The Mirror print is a beautiful and intriguing work of art that invites the viewer to appreciate the intricacies of Japanese culture and the artistry of Kitagawa Utamaro. The use of traditional clothing, accessories, and the mirror as a focal point, adds to the allure and timelessness of this print.
