EDITORS COMMENTS
Two Women, 1855" is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada, part of his celebrated series "Snow, Moon, and Flowers for the Eastern Genji." This print showcases two women dressed in elegant kimonos, standing outside amidst a serene winter landscape. The women, adorned with intricate hair ornaments (kanzashi) and traditional accessories, engage in a conversation, their expressions revealing a deep sense of friendship. The older woman, wearing a red and orange kimono with a geometric pattern, wears a simple yet elegant hairstyle, while the younger woman, dressed in a green kimono with a floral design, sports a more elaborate hairstyle with a large, ornate ornament. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868), with its attention to detail and exquisite use of color. The women's clothing, reminiscent of the traditional gototei and gepparo styles, are adorned with intricate patterns and textures, reflecting the beauty and sophistication of Japanese arts and fashion. The print's background depicts a snowy street scene, with the traditional Kinraisha and Kochoro buildings in the distance, adding to the sense of place and time. The print's title, "Two Women," suggests a simple yet profound theme of friendship and companionship, making it a timeless work of art that continues to captivate viewers to this day. This beautiful print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, or history, and is a valuable addition to any collection. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it can be appreciated by visitors from around the world.
