EDITORS COMMENTS
Sankatsu and Hanshichi: A Love Story in Utamaro Style This stunning color woodblock print, titled "Sankatsu and Hanshichi from Fashionable Patterns in Utamaro Style (Ryuko Moyo Utamaro-gata)," is a beautiful example of the artistic genius of Kitagawa Utamaro from the late Edo period of Japan (1798/99). The print depicts a romantic scene of two lovers, Sankatsu and Hanshichi, against a backdrop of a serene landscape. Sankatsu, played by Minoya Sankatsu, is dressed in a brown kimono with a pink obi, while Hanshichi, portrayed by Akaneya Hanshichi, wears a similar outfit in shades of brown. The intricate patterns and textures of their clothing are expertly rendered in the Utamaro style, showcasing the artist's mastery of color and form. The lovers are depicted in a garden setting, surrounded by roses and other flowers, symbolizing the blossoming of their love. The print is reminiscent of the popular love stories of the time, such as the tale of Princess Rosetta and her lover, which were often depicted in ukiyo-e art. The print is part of the "Fashionable Patterns in Utamaro Style" series, which showcased the latest trends in clothing and fashion during the Tokugawa period. The series was popular among the urban elite, who sought to emulate the latest styles and trends. This print is a testament to the enduring appeal of Utamaro's work and the importance of fashion and romance in Japanese culture during the Edo period. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, fashion, and culture in Asia.
