EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sixth Month (Minazuki): Nioteru of the Ogiya, from the series 'Models for Fashion: New Designs as Fresh as Young Leaves' captures the essence of 18th-century Japanese beauty and style. This exquisite woodblock print by Isoda Koryusai showcases a young courtesan named Nioteru, elegantly dressed in a vibrant green kimono adorned with delicate pink roses. Nioteru's graceful posture and serene expression reflect her refined upbringing and impeccable manners. Her traditional attire, meticulously detailed down to every fold and pattern, exemplifies the artistry of Japanese clothing during this period. The print also highlights various elements that were integral to Japanese fashion at the time. The black geta sandals she wears provide both comfort and functionality while walking on uneven surfaces. Additionally, her intricate hairstyle is complemented by an ornate hairpin, showcasing the attention to detail given to every aspect of her appearance. Koryusai's masterful use of color and calligraphy techniques brings this artwork to life. The soft hues create a harmonious palette that perfectly complements Nioteru's natural beauty. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this piece serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage and its influence on global fashion trends throughout history. It invites viewers into a world where tradition meets elegance, capturing a moment frozen in time.
