EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant polychrome woodblock print, titled "Three Young Women Masquerading as Komuso (Strolling Minstrel), ca. 1778" captures the essence of Edo period Japan with its exquisite attention to detail and cultural significance. Created by Torii Kiyonaga, a renowned artist from the artistic school of that era, this artwork showcases his mastery in ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese woodblock prints. The print depicts three young women elegantly dressed in traditional garments, skillfully masquerading as komuso or strolling minstrels. Their flowing robes and intricate patterns reflect the fashion trends prevalent during the eighteenth century. Each woman holds a flute delicately to her lips while wearing straw hats adorned with decorative ribbons—a symbol of their musical prowess. Noteworthy are their unique platform shoes known as geta and pattens made from bamboo, providing height and stability on uneven surfaces. These footwear choices were not only practical but also added an element of gracefulness to their movements. Kiyonaga's use of ink and color on paper brings life to this scene, showcasing his exceptional talent for capturing both realism and beauty within his artistry. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is fortunate to house this remarkable piece within its collection—an invaluable testament to Japan's rich heritage. As we admire this woodblock print today, it serves as a window into the past—allowing us to appreciate the elegance and creativity that thrived during Japan's Edo period while
