Courtesan Tsuru Woodblocks Woodcuts
EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite woodblock print, titled 'Kashiku of the House of Tsuru,' showcases the enchanting beauty and elegance of a Japanese courtesan from the early 19th century. The full-length portrait captures Kashiku standing gracefully in front of a tree in full bloom, its delicate pink blossoms providing a beautiful contrast to her rich, vibrant attire. Her posture is poised and confident, with a slight turn of her body towards the right, inviting the viewer to appreciate her charms. Accompanying Kashiku is a young female attendant, dressed in a simpler yet equally elegant kimono, who holds a fan and a fan-shaped hairpin, adding to the overall sense of refinement and sophistication. Both women adorn themselves with numerous hairpins, a common accessory for Japanese courtesans, adding to their allure and beauty. The intricate details of the print are a testament to the masterful artistry of the woodblock printmakers of the time. The delicate brushwork and precise lines create a stunning visual representation of the courtesan culture in Japan during the Edo period. The use of woodcuts allowed for mass production, making these prints accessible to a wider audience, further popularizing the image of the courtesan as a symbol of beauty, grace, and refinement in Japanese society. This image provides a glimpse into the world of the Japanese courtesan, a world of art, culture, and sensuality that continues to fascinate and intrigue us to this day.
