EDITORS COMMENTS
Hatsuhana at Hakone" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada in 1852, as part of his "Fifty-three Stations of the Tokaido" series. This masterpiece showcases the beauty and elegance of Hatsuhana, a woman of the Gototei acting troupe, as she pauses at Hakone, a station on the Tokaido Road during her journey from Edo to Kyoto. The print captures Hatsuhana in a full-length portrait, clad in an exquisite kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. Her posture is graceful, with her hands clasped in prayer, as if in deep contemplation or in the midst of a heartfelt wish. The natural phenomena of the landscape around her, including the cascading waters of a cataract, add to the serene and picturesque scene. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period and the significance of the arts, particularly in the areas of apparel and fashion. The intricate details of Hatsuhana's kimono, from the delicate embroidery to the subtle variations in color, are a reflection of the skill and artistry of the craftsmen involved in its creation. This woodblock print, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), is a reminder of the legendary status of Utagawa Kunisada and the enduring appeal of Japanese art during the nineteenth century. The print also serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the customs, traditions, and fashion of Japan during this time. The print's title, "Hatsuhana at Hakone," is a reference to the actress Hatsuhana, who was a member of the Ichimura Danjuro V's Gototei acting troupe. The print was published by Katsugoro Iinuma, with the carving by Reisho and the coloring by Kinraisha and Kochoro.
