Delighted (Ureshiso), from the series 'Thirty-two Aspects of Women' - A Captivating Glimpse into 19th Century Japan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This exquisite colour woodblock print, created by Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1888, transports us to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. Titled 'Delighted (Ureshiso)', it is part of the renowned series 'Thirty-two Aspects of Women', which beautifully captures various facets of femininity during this era. In this artwork, we witness a woman adorned in an elegant kimono, delicately holding a fan in her hand. Her enchanting smile and graceful hand gesture convey pure delight and joy. Surrounding her are mesmerizing fireflies illuminating the night sky, adding an ethereal touch to the scene. Yoshitoshi's masterful technique brings every detail to life – from the intricate patterns on her garment to each strand of hair meticulously rendered. The artist's skillful use of colours creates a harmonious composition that draws our eyes towards the central figure. This woodblock print not only showcases Yoshitoshi's artistic prowess but also provides valuable insights into Japanese culture and aesthetics during the Tokugawa period. It serves as a testament to ukiyo-e, a genre that flourished during this time and celebrated everyday life through its depiction of beautiful women, landscapes, and historical events. Displayed at The Art Institute Chicago gallery with great pride as part of their Arts of Asia collection
