EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, created by the renowned Japanese artist Utamaro in 1795-96, transports us back to a time of elegance and beauty. The image depicts a young woman delicately applying make-up, her reflection captured in a small mirror held in her hand. With utmost concentration, she carefully enhances her features with cream, highlighting her natural beauty. Utamaro's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke of this exquisite artwork. From the intricate patterns on the woman's kimono to the elaborate hairstyle adorned with delicate accessories, each element showcases the artistry and craftsmanship of traditional Japanese culture. The print offers a glimpse into the world of geishas and their dedication to perfection. It invites us to contemplate not only physical appearance but also inner grace and poise.
