EDITORS COMMENTS
Hour of the Sheep" is a captivating woodblock print from Kitagawa Utamaro's renowned series "Twelve Hours in Yoshiwara" (Seiro Juni toki tsuzuki), created around 1794 during the Edo period of Japan. This exquisite artwork portrays three young women, elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese kimono, seated in a serene setting. The hour represented is the hour of the sheep, which falls in the late afternoon of the eighteenth century. The women are adorned in checked, maroon and black clothing, a popular fashion during that era. Their apparel is intricately designed, showcasing the artistic school's attention to detail and the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The print is a color woodblock, with the intricate patterns and designs skillfully carved into blocks and then pressed onto paper. This technique, known as ukiyo-e, was a significant artistic movement in Japan during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The scene is set in Yoshiwara, an entertainment district in Edo, which was famous for its geisha houses, teahouses, and theatres. The women in the print are likely visiting the district for leisure, their relaxed expressions and casual poses reflecting the carefree atmosphere of the area. This beautiful and historic artwork is a testament to the artistic mastery of Kitagawa Utamaro and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or the history of woodblock printing.
