EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the bust portrait of the renowned courtesan Shinowara from the Tsuruya house. Created by the esteemed Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro between 1795 and 1800, this exquisite piece is a testament to his mastery in bijinga, or beautiful women portraits. Against a striking yellow background, Shinowara's delicate features are brought to life with intricate details. Her mesmerizing gaze captures the viewer's attention while her hair serves as an unexpected canvas for a pen that she gracefully stabs into its elegant arrangement. In addition to its visual allure, this print provides insight into the hierarchy within pleasure houses during that era. The title on the object refers to Shinowara's affiliation with Tsuruya uchi, while also mentioning her two kamuro - young helpers named Shinobu and Utano. Utamaro's skillful use of color woodcut technique adds depth and richness to this artwork. Measuring at approximately 364 mm in height and 254 mm in width, it is evident that every detail was meticulously crafted. As part of "The seven Komachi from the pleasure houses" series, this print exemplifies Utamaro's ability to capture not only physical beauty but also convey emotions and stories through his art. It stands as a timeless representation of Japan's rich cultural heritage and continues to captivate viewers with its elegance and allure today.
