EDITORS COMMENTS
Kogo no Tsubone," a captivating woodblock print from the series "Framed Pictures of Women for the Katsushika Circle," created by the renowned artist Gakutei around 1822, showcases the elegance and intricacy of Edo Period Japanese fashion. The central figure, Kogo no Tsubone, is depicted wearing a stunning kimono adorned with vibrant floral patterns in shades of green, orange, and red. The kimono's design is further accentuated by the contrasting colors of the obi, or sash, which adds a dynamic element to the overall composition. The print is a testament to the artistic skill of Gakutei, who masterfully employed the traditional technique of color woodblock printing. The intricate details of the kimono's patterns, the delicate folds of the fabric, and the expressive facial features of Kogo no Tsubone are all rendered with remarkable precision and finesse. The print also provides a glimpse into the cultural and artistic traditions of Japan during the Edo Period. The influence of gogaku, or court music and dance, is evident in the elegant pose and refined expression of Kogo no Tsubone. The print also bears the seals of various artists and publishers, including Harunobu Yashima, Maruya Onikichi, and Hokyo, indicating its connection to the Katsushika Circle, a group of artists and patrons who shared a passion for the arts. The "Framed Pictures of Women for the Katsushika Circle" series was a popular one, and this print, featuring Kogo no Tsubone, is a prime example of the artistic excellence and cultural significance of Japanese woodblock prints from the nineteenth century. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its beauty and historical significance.
