EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Ukiyo Genji hakkei: Suzumushi no bansho" was created by the talented artist Hosoda Eishi during the late 18th to early 19th century in Japan. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork is a true testament to Eishi's mastery of color woodblock printing. The image depicts a graceful woman elegantly holding a fan and gesturing with her hand. Dressed in traditional Japanese attire, she exudes an air of sophistication and beauty. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring life to every detail, from the intricate patterns on her kimono to the delicate folds of her obi. Eishi skillfully incorporates elements from literature and poetry into his work, as seen through the inclusion of a poem written on paper beside the woman.
