EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by Katsushika Hokusai, titled "Tsukasa Courtesans Ogiya Watching Autumn Moon Rise" we are transported to the enchanting world of Yoshiwara in 1799. The scene unfolds on a serene balcony overlooking vast rice fields, where a group of courtesans from the renowned Ogiya establishment gather to witness the mesmerizing ascent of the autumn moon. Hokusai's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this color woodblock print. The delicate folds of their vibrant kimonos and intricate hairstyles showcase the elegance and grace that these women possessed. As they lean against the railing, their gazes fixed upon the sky, one can almost feel their anticipation as they await nature's celestial spectacle. The juxtaposition between man-made structures and nature is strikingly portrayed in this artwork. While surrounded by bustling city life within Yoshiwara's pleasure district, these courtesans find solace in observing such a natural phenomenon as the moonrise over picturesque rice fields. It serves as a reminder that even amidst urban chaos, moments of tranquility can be found if one takes time to appreciate them. This surimono print captures not only an exquisite moment but also offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture during Edo period. Through Hokusai's masterful artistry, we are invited to immerse ourselves in an era where beauty was revered and cherished above all else – whether it be through delicate poetry or simply witnessing nature
