EDITORS COMMENTS
A Woman Pulling the Cord of a Wheeled Book Case" is a captivating woodblock print from the series "A Set of Seven" created by the renowned Japanese artist Gakutei, also known as Harunobu Yashima or Sadaoka Yashima, in the early 19th century. This masterpiece, dating back to around 1825, showcases the artist's exceptional skill in the traditional art of ukiyo-e. The print depicts a woman in elegant attire, dressed in a stunning kimono adorned with intricate patterns in shades of blue, grey, and orange. She sits before a desk, her eyes focused intently on a book as she pulls the cord of a wheeled bookcase, revealing its hidden contents. The bookcase, with its ornate design and metallic pigments, adds an element of luxury and sophistication to the scene. This print is a testament to the artistic school of gogaku, which emphasized naturalism and individual expression. The woman's posture and facial expression convey a sense of deep concentration and intellectual curiosity. The use of color and pattern in the kimono and bookcase adds depth and texture to the print, making it a visual feast for the eyes. The print is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period, a time when ukiyo-e flourished as a popular art form. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional Japanese art and culture. This print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. It is a reminder of the importance of preserving and celebrating the artistic achievements of the past, and a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place.
