EDITORS COMMENTS
Miyahito of the Ogiya, Whose Assistants Are Tsubaki and Shirabe," a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, dates back to the 18th century during the Edo period in Japan. This stunning oban-size print, featuring an elegant young woman named Miyahito from the Ogiya clan, is a prime example of the ukiyo-e artistic style. Miyahito is depicted in traditional Japanese attire, wearing a beautiful kimono adorned with intricate patterns. Her long, flowing hair is carefully arranged in an elaborate hairstyle, accessorized with a delicate hairpin. With her arms folded, she exudes a sense of poise and confidence. Two young women, identified as Tsubaki and Shirabe, attend to Miyahito. Tsubaki, on the left, holds a fan and a small parasol, while Shirabe, on the right, clutches a fan and a long-handled fan. Their attire and postures suggest that they are courtesans or attendants, adding to the overall atmosphere of refinement and elegance. The print is an oban keyblock proof impression with mica, which gives it a shimmering effect. The meticulous attention to detail, the use of light and shadow, and the overall composition make this a truly remarkable work of art. This print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Kitagawa Utamaro and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. This print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or art history, and a reminder of the enduring beauty and influence of ukiyo-e.
