EDITORS COMMENTS
Shizuka Gozen, a legendary figure from the 12th century, is depicted in this stunning section of a woodblock print from Utagawa Kuniyoshi's series "A Harimaze Mirror of Joruri Plays" (Harimaze joruri kagami), created in 1854. The print showcases the elegance and refinement of the female courtier, dressed in a beautiful kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The red and gold hues of her clothing stand out against the serene backdrop of the riverbank and the estuary. Shizuka Gozen, also known as Lady Shizuka, was a renowned entertainer and dancer of the Shirabyoshi school, famous for her graceful and expressive performances. In this print, she is depicted with a thoughtful expression, her mouth slightly parted as if in the midst of singing or reciting a poem. Her long, flowing hair is styled in an elaborate updo, held in place by an ornate hairpin. The print is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Utagawa Kuniyoshi, a leading figure of the Edo period in Japanese art. The details of Shizuka Gozen's clothing and accessories are meticulously rendered, from the delicate folds of her kimono to the intricate patterns on her obi sash. The print also showcases the rich cultural heritage of Japan, with its traditional clothing, geographical features, and artistic school. This section of the Harimaze Mirror of Joruri Plays is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, and history. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to captivate and inspire visitors from around the world.
