EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Yaoya O Shichi Standing, Holding a Love Letter and a Battledore, ca. 1748" transports us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. Created by the talented artist Okumura Masanobu, this polychrome woodblock print showcases his mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular art form during the eighteenth century. In this scene, we see Yaoya O Shichi, an elegant woman dressed in a stunning kimono adorned with intricate floral patterns. Her hair is beautifully styled and held together with an ornate comb. With grace and poise, she stands tall while holding both a love letter and a battledore—a traditional Japanese paddle used for playing games. Masanobu's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; from the delicate colors that bring life to the image to the meticulous rendering of Yaoya O Shichi's clothing and accessories. The composition exudes tranquility as it captures her leisurely pastime amidst nature's beauty. This artwork not only offers us a glimpse into the fashion and customs of eighteenth-century Japan but also serves as a testament to Masanobu's artistic skill. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and cultural significance.
