Osen of the Kagiya Teahouse at Kasamori Shrine with a View of Nippori in Yanaka, ca. 1768 - A Glimpse into Edo Japan's Vibrant Tea Culture
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This polychrome woodblock print by Suzuki Harunobu takes us back to the bustling streets of Edo Japan in the late 18th century. The scene depicts Osen, a waitress from the renowned Kagiya Teahouse, standing gracefully at the entrance gate of Kasamori Shrine. With her elegant attire and traditional hat, she exudes an air of sophistication. The artist skillfully captures not only Osen's beauty but also provides us with a glimpse into daily life during this period. In the background, we see men and women going about their business while enjoying breathtaking views of Nippori in Yanaka. Harunobu's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the intricate patterns on Osen's clothing to the vibrant colors that bring life to each figure. The use of ink and color on paper adds depth and richness to this artistic masterpiece. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this print offers insights into Japanese culture and customs. It highlights tea as an integral part of social interaction during that time period, where teahouses served as meeting places for people from all walks of life. As we admire this artwork at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, let us appreciate Suzuki Harunobu's contribution
