1810 Color Woodblock Print Utamaro Ii

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this color woodblock print titled "Geisha Standing Beside Shamisen Case 1810" by Utamaro II, we are transported back to the vibrant world of traditional Japanese culture. The image showcases a graceful geisha standing elegantly beside a shamisen case, exuding an air of poise and mystery. The geisha's elaborate kimono is adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors that reflect her status as an entertainer in the pleasure districts of Edo-era Japan. Her hair is meticulously styled, with delicate ornaments adding to her allure. With her eyes downcast and a subtle smile playing on her lips, she embodies the enigmatic charm that has fascinated people for centuries. The shamisen case next to her serves as a reminder of the important role music played in geisha culture. The shamisen, a three-stringed instrument similar to a guitar, was often used during performances accompanied by singing or dancing. Its presence suggests that our geisha may be preparing for an upcoming performance or perhaps taking a momentary break from entertaining guests. Utamaro II's masterful use of color and detail brings this scene to life, capturing not only the physical beauty but also the inner essence of his subject. This exquisite print from Liszt Collection allows us to glimpse into the fascinating world of geishas and their artistry while celebrating the timeless elegance and grace they embody.
