EDITORS COMMENTS
Yui," a captivating woodblock print published in 1854, showcases the elegant beauty of two sisters, Miyagino and Shinobu, depicted by the renowned artists Utagawa Kunisada and Ando Hiroshige. This exquisite print is part of the "Fifty-Three Stages of the Tokaido Road" series, specifically the seventeenth installment, titled "Double-brush 53 Stages." The sisters are captured in a full-length, serene pose, dressed in traditional Japanese attire. Their kimonos are adorned with intricate, patterned designs, adding a vibrant pop of color to the otherwise monochromatic scene. The sisters' hair is styled in traditional Japanese fashion, cascading down their backs in soft waves. The sisters are shown kneeling on a tatami mat floor, their bare feet peeking out from under their robes. The sisters' attire, known as "gepparo," is a traditional Japanese dress worn by unmarried women. The sisters' dresses are cinched at the waist with a sash, called "kinraisha," which adds definition to their slender figures. The print is a stunning example of the Edo period's artistic heritage, showcasing the attention to detail and masterful use of color that characterizes the work of Utagawa Kunisada and Ando Hiroshige. The sisters' peaceful expression and the subtle interplay of light and shadow create a sense of tranquility and harmony. This beautiful print, now held in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is a testament to the enduring appeal of Japanese art and the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese clothing. The sisters' image, with their graceful poses and intricately designed garments, invites us to appreciate the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century.
