EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 27, Tamagiku, from the series An Excellent Selection of Thirty-six Noted Courtesans... 1860-61, is a stunning color woodcut print by the renowned Japanese artist Kunisada (Toyokuni III) and Utagawa. Created during the Edo period in Japan, between 1860 and 1861, this print showcases the captivating beauty and allure of Tamagiku, a famous courtesan of the Yoshiwara district in Tokyo. The image portrays Tamagiku in an elegant pose, sitting on a tatami mat with a fan in one hand and a flower in the other. Her graceful expression and refined attire exude an air of sophistication and sensuality. The background of the print features a tranquil landscape, with a serene lake and a bridge arching over it, adding to the overall sense of beauty and harmony. Tamagiku was known for her exquisite beauty and her ability to captivate the hearts of many men, both rich and poor. She was a popular subject of ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world," a genre of Japanese art that depicted the pleasures and desires of the common people. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of ukiyo-e and the beauty and allure of the courtesans of the Yoshiwara district during the Edo period. The print is a rare and valuable piece of Japanese art, with intricate details and vibrant colors that bring Tamagiku's story to life. It is a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the beauty and allure of its past. The print is currently in a private collection and is a treasure to be admired and cherished for its historical significance and artistic merit.
