EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Dancer Hotoke Gozen," dates back to the 1820s and was created by the renowned Japanese artist Gakutei (also known as Harunobu Yashima or Sadaoka Yashima). The print showcases a graceful female performer, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, in the midst of a gogaku dance performance. Gogaku is an ancient form of Japanese dance that originated during the Heian period (794-1185 AD). The dancers wore elaborate costumes, often featuring vibrant colors and intricate patterns. Hotoke Gozen, depicted in this print, is a character from a popular gogaku dance called Kagurado. She is dressed in a stunning floral dress, adorned with a large, ornate headdress, and holds a fan in one hand and a small fan in the other. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. It was produced during the surimono period, a time when artists created unique, individually-printed works as gifts for their patrons. This particular print bears the seals of several notable figures of the time, including Horikawa Taro, Ryosa, Maruya Onikichi, and Koen. The Dancer Hotoke Gozen is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences. The print serves as a reminder of the enduring influence of Japanese art and culture on the world stage, and the importance of preserving and celebrating our artistic heritage.
