EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning woodblock print by Utagawa Toyokuni I, titled "Women Playing Hyakunin Isshu Card Game (image 1 of 2)," dates back to the late 18th century, around 1794-1795. The print is a diptych, consisting of two sheets, and showcases a lively scene of women engaged in a friendly game of Hyakunin Isshu, a popular card game in Japan during the Edo period. The women are depicted in elegant kimonos, their pastel-colored clothing adorned with intricate patterns, adding a touch of sophistication to the indoor setting. The scene takes place in front of a folding screen, which adds to the sense of intimacy and companionship among the players. The game itself is spread out on a low table, with cards and other accessories neatly arranged. The women are seated in a semi-circle, some leaning forward in concentration, while others chat and laugh with each other. The artist's skillful use of color and composition creates a vibrant and dynamic image that captures the essence of leisurely pastimes during the Tokugawa era. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the traditional dress and customs of the time. It is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
