EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene of elegance and tradition in the 18th century. Titled "Courtesan and attendants heating sake" this colour woodcut by Koryusai, Isoda showcases the beauty and grace of Japanese culture. Measuring at 31.2x22.9 cm, it is housed in the Art Gallery and Museum at Kelvingrove, Glasgow. In this artwork, we witness a group of attendants surrounding a courtesan as they prepare to heat sake, a traditional Japanese rice wine. The delicate calligraphy adorning the image adds an air of sophistication to the composition. Each stroke tells a story, adding depth to this visual narrative. The focus on warming sake symbolizes not only physical comfort but also emotional warmth shared among companions. The female heater dressed in traditional Asian attire exudes poise and serenity while her male counterpart complements her presence with his own traditional dress. Enzo Di Cosmo's expert capture brings out every detail - from the intricate script to the vibrant colors - allowing viewers to immerse themselves fully into this cultural moment frozen in time. This print serves as a reminder of how art can transport us across centuries and continents, connecting us with different traditions and customs through its visual storytelling prowess.
