EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cherry Tree of Yang Guifei, c1823, is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Gakutei (also known as Harunobu Yashima or Sadaoka Yashima). This print is part of the series "Cherry Trees for the Katsushika Circle," a collection of exquisite floral designs that showcase the beauty of cherry trees in various seasons. The print depicts a female figure standing on a balcony, admiring a lone cherry tree in full bloom. The tree, with its delicate pink blossoms, stands against a backdrop of architectural features, including a shingakudo (a traditional Japanese pavilion) and a kagurado (a stage for traditional music and dance performances). The intricate floral pattern of the kimono the woman wears complements the cherry tree, creating a harmonious blend of nature and art. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The use of mica and brass in the print adds an element of luxury and sophistication, making it a prized possession for collectors and art enthusiasts. The print's location in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States is a testament to its historical significance and enduring appeal. Gakutei, also known as Harunobu Sugawara, was a master of the surimono (private print) genre, producing intricate and exquisite prints for a select audience. His work, including "The Cherry Tree of Yang Guifei," continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world, showcasing the beauty and elegance of Japanese art and culture.
