EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time, showcasing a lady playing an instrument. Created between 1804 and 1840 by the talented artist Gakutei Yashima, this colour woodcut measures approximately 21.5x18.4 cm and is currently housed at the Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove, Glasgow. The woman depicted in the image exudes grace and elegance as she sits poised with her musical instrument, possibly a biwa, resting on her lap. Her delicate fingers delicately pluck at its strings, producing beautiful melodies that fill the air. Gakutei's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the intricate patterns adorning the lady's kimono to the serene expression on her face. The vibrant colors used in this woodcut bring life to both the subject and her surroundings. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to a time when music played an integral role in Asian culture. This female musician serves as a reminder of the power of music to transcend language barriers and evoke emotions within us all. Enzo Di Cosmo has expertly captured not only the beauty of this artwork but also its cultural significance through his photography skills. Through his lens, he allows us to appreciate every brushstroke and line created by Gakutei over two centuries ago. This print is truly a testament to both artistic talent and historical preservation – reminding us of our shared human experiences across time and cultures
