Liquor Maiden Store Woodblocks Woodcuts


EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite woodblock print, titled 'The Young Maiden Omiwa of the Liquor Store Sugizake-ya,' dates back to 1859 and offers a captivating glimpse into the daily life of Japan during the Edo period. The image features a young, graceful maiden, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, standing before a beautifully adorned liquor store. The storefront, named Sugizake-ya, is adorned with intricate woodcarvings and colorful decorations, reflecting the importance of the liquor trade during this era. Omiwa, the young maiden, is depicted with a demure expression, her long, dark hair pulled back into a neat chignon. She holds a tray of small cups, ready to serve the customers who gather outside the store. The atmosphere is lively and bustling, with men in formal attire and straw hats milling about, engaging in animated conversation. The intricate details of this woodblock print are a testament to the skill and artistry of the ukiyo-e (floating world) artists of the time. The delicate brushwork and vibrant colors bring the scene to life, transporting us back to the streets of 19th-century Japan. The print also provides a fascinating insight into the role of women in Japanese society during this period, as they were often employed in the service industry, including liquor stores. This beautiful woodblock print is a valuable historical document and an exquisite work of art, offering a unique perspective into the daily life and culture of Japan during the Edo period. It is a must-have for any collection focused on Japanese history, art, or culture.
