EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Young Woman Blowing a Glass Pipe (poppin)" is part of the renowned series called Ten Types in the Physiognomic Study of Women, created by the talented artist Utamaro Kitagawa during the Edo period in Japan around 1792. The image showcases a young woman elegantly engaging in the act of smoking, exuding an air of mystery and allure. The woodcut technique used to create this artwork adds depth and texture to every detail, making it a true masterpiece of Japanese art. The vibrant colors employed in this piece further enhance its visual impact, transporting viewers into a world filled with cultural richness and artistic finesse. The subject matter itself is intriguing as it offers us a glimpse into the customs and lifestyle prevalent during that era. Smoking pipes were not only objects for indulgence but also symbols of status and sophistication. This portrayal captures both the gracefulness of women at that time as well as their agency to participate in activities traditionally associated with men. Displayed within a private collection, this print serves as a testament to Utamaro's mastery in capturing human expressions and emotions through his work. It stands as an important representation of Ukiyo-e or "pictures from the floating world" which was highly popular during Japan's Edo period. With its historical significance, exquisite craftsmanship, and undeniable beauty, this print continues to captivate art enthusiasts worldwide while offering valuable insights into Japanese culture centuries ago.
