EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Suminoto of Okanaya" takes us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century Japan. From the series "New Kimono Patterns for Young Leaves" this woodblock print by Koryusai, Isoda beautifully captures the essence of traditional Japanese culture. The image showcases a young woman gracefully seated at her dressing table, surrounded by exquisite elements that define femininity in Japanese society. A lacquer box filled with delicate treasures sits beside her, holding secrets and stories within its intricate design. The hairdresser's skilled hands delicately arrange her ebony locks into an elegant coiffure, while she patiently awaits the final touches. Her face reflects a sense of serenity as a makeup artist carefully applies cosmetics to enhance her natural beauty. Every stroke is executed with precision and artistry, highlighting the importance placed on aesthetics during this era. A comb rests gently against a silk cloth nearby, symbolizing not only practicality but also tradition and ritualistic practices associated with grooming oneself in preparation for public appearances. This mesmerizing artwork transports us to a time when attention to detail was paramount and every aspect of one's appearance held deep cultural significance. It serves as a reminder of the rich heritage that continues to inspire contemporary fashion and beauty trends today.
