EDITORS COMMENTS
Ginjuro's Wife Oyumi from the Play Whirlpools of Awa" is a stunning 19th century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro. This work of art showcases Oyumi, the wife of the protagonist Ginjuro, from the play "Whirlpools of Awa" (Awa no naruto). The print is part of the series "Bamboo Nodes in Puppet Theater Designs" (Ayatsuri moyo take no hitofushi), which highlights various characters from traditional Japanese puppet theater. Oyumi is depicted in the print as a graceful and elegant woman, dressed in a beautiful kimono adorned with intricate patterns and a vibrant obi sash. She is shown bending down, possibly giving advice or instructions to her children, who are not visible in the image. Her expression is serious, yet warm and caring, as she speaks to them with a gentle tone. The print is set against a backdrop of a brown, checkered floor, with a cartouche at the top bearing the title and artist's name in elegant calligraphy. The use of color is masterful, with Oyumi's green kimono and obi contrasting beautifully with the brown background and the brown checkered pattern on her skirt. The overall effect is one of tranquility and harmony, capturing the essence of traditional Japanese life and culture. This print is a testament to the artistic school of the Edo period, which emphasized the beauty of everyday life and the natural world. It is a valuable addition to any art collection, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan and Asia. Whether displayed in an art center, gallery, or institute, this print is sure to captivate and inspire viewers with its intricate details, vibrant colors, and timeless beauty.
