EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Beauty holding a fan" transports us back to the early 19th century in Japan. Created by Eizan Kikukawa, a renowned artist of his time, this artwork measures 59.37 x 9.84 cm and is housed at the San Diego Museum of Art in the USA. The subject of this exquisite portrait is a mesmerizing beauty adorned in traditional Japanese dress, known as kimono. She delicately holds a fan with grace and elegance, showcasing her refined manners and poise. The intricate details captured by Eizan's skilled hand bring life to every fold of her garment and every stroke of her hair. This enchanting image offers us a glimpse into the world of courtesans or geishas during that era. These women were highly trained entertainers who captivated their patrons not only through their physical beauty but also through their intellect and artistic talents. As we admire this woodblock print, we are transported to an era where tradition meets artistry, where beauty was celebrated in all its forms. It serves as a reminder that even though centuries have passed since its creation, true beauty remains timeless. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this masterpiece today without any commercial use attached to it. Let us cherish these glimpses into history that allow us to connect with cultures long gone yet forever imprinted on our collective memory.
