EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century polychrome woodblock print, titled "Yellow" by Utagawa Kunisada, showcases the elegance and beauty of traditional Japanese clothing during the Edo period (1603-1868). The print is part of Kunisada's "Costumes in Five Different Colors" series, which highlights the intricacies and vibrancy of Japanese textiles and apparel. The subject of the print is a young woman, dressed in a beautiful yellow kimono with a checkered pattern, known as "gototei." The kimono is adorned with intricate designs and is worn over a layer of undergarments called "kinraisha" and "kochoro." The woman wears her hair in a classic "gepparo" style, with a large, decorative hairpin holding a handkerchief in place. She stands on a terrace, looking down, with a serene expression on her face. The print is a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese arts and fashion during the 1850s. The bright, colorful fabric, made of dyed silk, is a stark contrast to the muted tones and plain fabrics commonly worn during the period. The intricate patterns and designs on the kimono are a reflection of the skill and artistry of the block printers of the time. The print is a full-length portrait, capturing the essence of Japanese ladieswear during the Tokugawa period. The woman's posture and expression convey a sense of grace and poise, making this print a beautiful addition to any collection of Asian art or textiles. This print is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate and study the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century.
