EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Tales of Ise in Fashionable Brocade Pictures" created by the renowned artist Shunsho around 1772/73. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the artistic school of Katsukawa during the Edo period in Japan. The print depicts a significant life event in the Tales of Ise, a collection of poetic stories about love and romance. In the image, three figures are gathered in a tranquil garden setting. A young woman, dressed in an elegant kimono of lime green, stands at the center, symbolizing her coming of age. She is accompanied by a chaperone, a wise and experienced woman, dressed in a more subdued kimono, and a young man, who is likely the intended suitor. The scene is filled with vibrant colors, from the rich greens of the garden to the intricate patterns of their clothing. The print is a masterpiece of the color woodblock print technique, with intricate details and delicate calligraphy. The use of the syllabic script, known as kana, adds to the elegance and sophistication of the artwork. The three figures are framed by a fence, creating a sense of intimacy and privacy, while the background shows a serene garden scene, adding to the overall sense of peace and harmony. This print is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the rich artistic traditions of Japan during the eighteenth century. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, literature, or fashion, and a beautiful addition to any art collection. The print is currently housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
