EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Wakamurasaki kyAcjo, The courtesan Wakamurasaki as a court lady" artist Yanagawa Shigenobu transports us to the elegant world of ancient Japan. Created between 1821 and 1823, this woodcut masterpiece measures 38.4 x 26.2 cm and showcases the remarkable talent of its creator. The central figure in the print is Wakamurasaki, a renowned courtesan who has been transformed into a member of the royal court. Standing tall and facing left, she exudes grace and poise while holding a delicate fan in her hand. Her vibrant kimono adorned with intricate patterns adds to her regal aura. Yanagawa's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing both the beauty and complexity of his subject. Through his artistry, he seamlessly merges two distinct worlds - that of an esteemed courtesan and that of an esteemed court lady - blurring boundaries and challenging societal norms. This print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers insight into the cultural significance attached to these roles during that time period. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as identity, social hierarchy, and personal transformation. Quint Lox's inclusion as the caption author further highlights how art can transcend time by sparking curiosity across generations. As we admire this stunning piece from Liszt Collection, let us appreciate its historical context while allowing our imaginations to wander through centuries past.
