EDITORS COMMENTS
Murasaki Shikibu, a renowned 11th century Japanese novelist and lady-in-waiting at the Imperial Court, is depicted in this stunning hand-coloured woodblock print by Hishikawa Moronobu from the "One Hundred Poems by One Hundred Poets" series, created in the 1670s. The elegant figure is dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, including a beautiful kimono with intricate patterns and vibrant orange colour. The moon, a common motif in Japanese art and poetry, rises above the clouds in the background, adding to the serene and contemplative atmosphere of the scene. The meticulous attention to detail in the fabric textures, the delicate brushstrokes of the calligraphy, and the subtle shading of the clouds showcase Moronobu's mastery of the art of ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world." This exquisite print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Heian period and the enduring influence of Murasaki Shikibu's literary legacy.
