EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Women on a boat, 1801" by Kitagawa Utamaro takes us back to the Edo period in Japan. Published in the renowned "Ehon Shiki-No-Hana" (Picture-book of the Flowers of the Four Seasons), this woodblock print showcases Utamaro's exceptional artistic skills and attention to detail. The scene depicts a group of elegantly dressed women gracefully gliding along the water on a wooden boat. Their vibrant kimonos, adorned with intricate patterns and colors, beautifully contrast against the serene backdrop. The women exude an air of tranquility as they navigate through their journey. As we observe closely, we notice that each woman carries herself with poise and grace. They are seen engaging in conversation while enjoying tea from delicate crockery dishes placed before them. The gangplank leading to the boat adds depth to the composition, inviting us into their world for a brief moment. Utamaro's mastery lies not only in capturing these women's physical beauty but also in conveying their inner strength and confidence. This artwork offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture during this time period - where fashion, social interactions, and transportation intertwine seamlessly. Through this remarkable piece from Louise Norton Brown's collection published by George Routledge & Sons Ltd. , we can appreciate Utamaro's contribution to ukiyo-e art and his ability to immortalize moments of everyday life with unparalleled skill and finesse.
