Grooming Habits Pictures Woodblocks Woodcuts

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the vibrant world of late 19th century China and Japan, as depicted in this delightful series of humorous woodblock prints showcasing Chinese clothing and grooming habits. These playful images, created around 1895, offer a lighthearted and intriguing glimpse into the daily life of the time. In the first print, a Chinese man is shown meticulously applying makeup, using a large, ornate mirror and a variety of brushes and powders. His expression is serious, yet the exaggerated features of his face and the comically oversized brushes hint at the amusing nature of the scene. Another print features a Chinese man wearing an elaborate, multi-layered outfit, complete with a wide-brimmed hat and oversized shoes. He is shown attempting to balance precariously on a small stool, while a friend looks on in amusement. The Japanese prints in this series offer a similar blend of humor and cultural insight. One image shows a man using a large, wooden comb to groom his long, flowing hair, while another depicts a man in traditional Japanese attire, carrying an oversized fan and wearing a pair of comically large slippers. These prints, created using the traditional woodblock printing technique, offer a unique and entertaining perspective on the clothing and grooming habits of China and Japan during the late 19th century. Their playful and humorous nature make them a delightful addition to any collection, and a fascinating window into the past.
