EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Tomoe, also known as Tomoe Gozen, is a legendary figure from Japanese mythology and folklore, renowned for her exceptional beauty and warrior skills. This stunning color woodblock print, created by the artist Gakutei around 1822, captures the enigmatic allure of Lady Tomoe as part of the series "Framed Pictures of Women for the Katsushika Circle." The print showcases Lady Tomoe in an elegant pose, seated on a mat with a katana sword at her side. Her flowing kimono, adorned with intricate patterns in shades of green, grey, and olive, adds to her regal appearance. The background is simple, with a subtle shading effect that creates depth and texture. Gakutei, whose real name was Harunobu Yashima, was a prominent figure in the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo period in Japan. This print is a prime example of the shikishiban surimono style, characterized by its small size, intricate detail, and elaborate design. The print's vibrant colors and bold lines are a testament to the masterful printing techniques of the time, which involved carving each color separately onto individual blocks and then pressing them onto paper. The result is a stunning work of art that transports us to a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
