EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Women's Activities of the Tokugawa Era: Creating Bonkei (Bonseki Tray Landscapes)" by Chikanobu Yoshu, dates between 1896 and 1897. The image showcases a triptych of women engaged in the creation of Bonkei, a traditional Japanese hobby that involves the arrangement of miniature landscapes on decorated trays. The women, dressed in elegant kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, work in a serene and industrious atmosphere. The Meiji Era setting is evident in the contemporary apparel, which blends traditional dress with modern elements, reflecting the period's transition from the old Tokugawa regime to the modern industrial age. Chikanobu Yoshu, also known as Hashimoto Chikanobu and Toyohara Chikanobu, was a renowned artist of the Ukiyo-e tradition, famous for his color woodblock prints that depicted scenes from Japanese history, literature, and everyday life. This particular work highlights the aesthetic appreciation for the arts and the pastime of creating Bonkei as a leisure activity for women during the Tokugawa Era. The print, now a cherished piece of heritage art, is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its intricate details, beautiful colors, and rich historical significance. The women's focused work in this image offers a glimpse into the lives of Japanese women during the Tokugawa Era, showcasing their dedication to their craft and their role in preserving traditional Japanese art forms.
