A Selection of Six Flowers - A Parody Rokkasen - Bishop Henjo, c. 1798
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this color woodblock print by Eishi, Chobunsai, we are transported to a world of elegance and beauty in ancient Japan. The image showcases a young woman with her head adorned with an exquisite headdress and an intricate coiffure. Her delicate features are highlighted as she gazes thoughtfully into the distance. The woman holds a fan delicately in her hand, adding to her air of grace and sophistication. Surrounding her are six vibrant flowers carefully selected for their symbolic meaning. Each flower represents different aspects of nature's beauty and is arranged meticulously to create a harmonious composition. This artwork is not just about capturing the essence of feminine allure; it also serves as a parody on traditional Japanese poetry known as Rokkasen or "Six Immortal Poets". In this playful twist, Bishop Henjo takes center stage instead of the usual male poets depicted in such prints. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print – from the elaborate combs adorning the woman's hair to the subtle shading that brings depth and dimensionality to each petal. It is truly a masterpiece that showcases both technical skill and artistic vision. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this print from Clarence Buckingham Collection allows us to appreciate the timeless beauty found within Japanese artistry while paying homage to its rich cultural heritage.
