EDITORS COMMENTS
a captivating woodblock print from the series "Women's Handicrafts: Models of Dexterity" (Fujin tewaza ayatsuri kagami) by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, dates back to the late eighteenth century. This exquisite work of art, created during the Edo period (1603-1868), showcases the intricate world of traditional Japanese handicrafts and the dexterity of women. The print depicts a young woman, dressed in a beautiful kimono, intently focused on her sewing task. She sits in a kneeling position, her posture conveying a sense of deep concentration as she meticulously ties threads from her sewing box. The threads, displayed in a vibrant teal color, contrast beautifully with the blue background, adding to the visual appeal of the print. The oban-sized woodblock print, a common format for ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world), is a testament to Utamaro's artistic skill and mastery of the woodcut technique. The intricate details in the woman's clothing, the delicate folds of her kimono, and the realistic portrayal of her facial expression all contribute to the overall beauty and allure of the print. This work of art is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, apparel, or traditional craft. It offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the eighteenth century and serves as a reminder of the importance of craftsmanship and dexterity in the artistic traditions of Asia. The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this masterpiece in its esteemed collection, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
