EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print from the series "Fashionable Children as the Six Immortal Poets (Furyu Kodakara Rokkasen)" created by the renowned Japanese artist Kikukawa Eizan around 1814 or 1817, showcases the enchanting image of a young girl named Sojo Henjo, dressed as the poetess Ono no Komachi. This masterpiece is a testament to the artistic innovation and cultural richness of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The print, now held at the Art Institute of Chicago, displays Sojo Henjo in a stunning kimono adorned with a checkered pattern, evoking the traditional clothing of the time. The intricate design of the garment, with its vibrant blue and white hues, is a reflection of the artistic school that flourished during the Edo period. The girl's hair is styled in a traditional Japanese manner, with a delicate headband adorned with a red check pattern. The setting of the print is simple yet evocative, with a serene landscape in the background, suggesting a tranquil domestic scene. The poetic inscription at the bottom of the print, written in elegant calligraphy, further emphasizes the connection between the child and the Six Immortal Poets, a group of renowned poets from ancient Japan. This print offers a glimpse into the world of fashion, poetry, and childhood during the Edo period, showcasing the deep cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today. The image of Sojo Henjo as Ono no Komachi is a poignant reminder of the enduring influence of literature and art on the lives and imaginations of people across continents and centuries.
