EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning polychrome woodblock print, titled "Portrait of the Courtesan Nioteru of the Ogiya, with Her Two Attendants Namiji and Ao" captures the essence of 18th-century Japan during the Edo period. Created by renowned artist Torii Kiyonaga around 1785, this masterpiece showcases his exceptional skill in ukiyo-e printing. The image portrays a courtesan named Nioteru from the prestigious Ogiya district, accompanied by her two attendants Namiji and Ao-mi. Dressed in vibrant kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and blossoms, these women epitomize elegance and grace. The delicate ink and color on paper technique used to create this artwork adds depth and richness to every detail. Amidst a backdrop of lush nature, blooming flowers accentuate their beauty while symbolizing fleeting moments in life. This print not only celebrates feminine allure but also explores themes of occupation and profession during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of its heritage art collection, this piece transports viewers back to a time when traditional Japanese culture flourished. It serves as a testament to Torii Kiyonaga's mastery in capturing both physical likeness and inner spirit through woodblock printing.
