EDITORS COMMENTS
Satsuki Hototogisu" is a captivating color woodcut print created by the renowned Japanese artist Isoda Koryusai in 1772. This exquisite work of art depicts a beautiful woman, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, holding a lesser cuckoo, or hototogisu, in her hands. The bird, known for its distinctive call that sounds like "hototogisu," is perched on her open palm, its beak gently pecking at the petals of an azalea flower. The intricately detailed print is a prime example of the Rikka genre, a popular style of Japanese art that focused on the representation of flowers, birds, and other natural elements. The background is adorned with lush greenery and various other blossoms, adding to the overall serene and harmonious atmosphere of the scene. The woman in the print is believed to be Satsuki, a character from the world of Japanese literature and theater. Her elegant appearance and gentle expression convey a sense of grace and tranquility, making her the perfect companion to the lesser cuckoo. This stunning work of art is a testament to the beauty and richness of Japanese culture during the Edo period. It showcases the masterful use of color and intricate detail that is characteristic of ukiyo-e, the traditional Japanese genre of woodblock prints. The print is a precious addition to any collection of fine Asian art and a reminder of the enduring allure of the Orient. The "Satsuki Hototogisu" print is a rare and valuable piece of Japanese art history, and a true masterpiece in its own right. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate and inspire art lovers around the world.
