EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning 19th century polychrome woodblock print, titled "Red" by Utagawa Kunisada, showcases the elegant beauty of traditional Japanese clothing during the Edo period. The print is part of Kunisada's "Costumes in Five Different Colors" series, which highlights the intricate designs and vibrant colors of Japanese apparel. In this particular print, a beautiful woman dressed in a red kimono adorned with floral patterns stands on the riverbank, gazing down at the tranquil water. The kimono, made of dyed silk in the Kinraisha style, is a masterpiece of Japanese textile art. Its deep red color and intricate patterns add a regal and alluring quality to the woman's appearance. The print also features other elements typical of the Edo period, such as the Gototei and Ichiyosai designs on the woman's obi (sash) and the Gepparo and Kochoro patterns on her kimono sleeves. The woman's hair is styled in the Shozo fashion, with a bun held in place by a decorative hairpin. The print's background showcases a serene river scene, with a bridge and trees adding to the sense of peace and tranquility. The use of multiple blocks for printing the various colors and patterns adds to the print's intricacy and beauty. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period and the artistry of Utagawa Kunisada. It is a beautiful example of the traditional Japanese art of block printing and the concept of "la soirée," or an evening gathering, which was a popular theme in Japanese art of the time.
