EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print is a page from Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's Compiled Album from Four Series: A Mirror of Famous Generals of Japan, created between 1876 and 1882. The image showcases a young woman, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, holding a mirror and admiring her reflection. The intricately designed kimono she wears is adorned with vibrant colors and intricate patterns, the sleeves adorned with ribbons and the hem with a flowing trail. The woman's hair is styled in an elegant chignon, held in place by a decorative hairpin. The background of the print reveals a serene outdoor setting, with a tranquil pond and lush greenery. The woman's expression is thoughtful and introspective, her teeth gently biting her lower lip as she contemplates her reflection. The print is a beautiful example of the ukiyo-e tradition, a genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period and focused on the depiction of the beautiful and the transient. Tsukioka Yoshitoshi was a prominent figure in the Meiji era of Japanese art, known for his innovative approach to woodblock printing and his ability to capture the essence of his subjects with remarkable detail and sensitivity. This print is a testament to his mastery of the medium and his deep understanding of the human condition. The young woman's contemplative pose and the reflection of her image in the mirror invite the viewer to reflect on the nature of self-image and identity in the context of Japanese culture during the late 19th century. This woodblock print is part of a larger series of works by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi, which also includes Comic Pictures of Famous Places in Civilizing Tokyo, Twenty-four Accomplishments in Imperial Japan, and Twenty-four Hours in Shinbashi and Yanagibashi. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art is fortunate to have this rare and exquisite work in its collection, a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its art.
