New Years Gift (image 3 of 3)": A Stunning Full-Length Portrait of an Elderly Woman Holding a Basket of Fish by Utagawa Toyohiro (Late 18th-early 19th Century) This woodblock print, titled "New Years Gift (image 3 of 3)", is an exquisite creation by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Toyohiro, dating back to the late 18th to early 19th century. The print showcases an elderly woman, dressed in traditional Japanese clothing, standing in a rustic, rural setting. The woman is adorned in a beautiful kimono, featuring intricate patterns and vibrant colors, including shades of grey and red. She is holding a large basket filled with sea bream, a symbol of prosperity and good fortune in Japanese culture. The basket is embossed with the image of Ebisu, the god of fishermen and the god of fortune, adding an extra layer of religious significance to the gift. The print also includes the image of Hiruko, an elderly deity, and other gods of fortune, known as the Seven Gods of Fortune. The woman's posture and serene expression convey a sense of gratitude and respect towards these deities. This full-length portrait, which is part of a series of surimono prints, is a stunning example of the regionalism and traditionalism that characterized the art of the 19th century in Japan. The intricate details, from the textures of the woman's clothing to the patterns on the fish, are a testament to the skill and artistry of Utagawa Toyohiro and the woodblock printing technique. This beautiful work of art is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), making it accessible to the public for appreciation and study. The print serves as a reminder of the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Japan during the 1800s.
