Kiyomizu Komachi Woodblocks Woodcuts


EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning full-length woodblock print depicts Ono no Komachi, also known as Kiyomizu Komachi, a renowned poetess from Japan's Heian period, around the ninth century. The print, created between 1804 and 1818, showcases the poet in a contemplative pose, clad in traditional Heian-era attire. Her elegant kimono, adorned with intricate patterns, flows gracefully around her, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings. Kiyomizu Komachi is renowned for her moving poetry, particularly her "Tang Poems," which were inspired by Chinese literature. Her works often expressed deep emotions, particularly longing and sadness, resonating with the Japanese aesthetic of mono no aware - the transient beauty of things. The print's title, "Kiyomizu Komachi," refers to Kiyomizu-dera, a famous Buddhist temple in Kyoto, where Komachi is said to have lived and composed her poetry. The temple's name, meaning "pure water stage," is reflected in the serene, watery landscape in the background of the print. The artist masterfully captures the essence of Komachi's poetic spirit through the intricate details of the print. The delicate brushwork, the vibrant colors, and the meticulous woodcutting techniques all contribute to the print's captivating beauty. This exquisite work of art not only serves as a visual representation of Komachi's poetry but also as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan's Heian period.
