EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print showcases the intellectual prowess and cultural curiosity of Japanese women. The image, captured by Leonard de Selva, offers a glimpse into the daily lives of these women as they engage in reading and writing activities. Dressed in traditional kimonos, their costumes reflect both elegance and femininity. The composition depicts a scene of leisurely conversation between two women, engrossed in a book. Their focused expressions suggest an intense interest in literature and knowledge. One woman delicately holds a calligraphy brush, highlighting her skillful artistry with words. The homemade beauty of this print lies not only in its artistic execution but also in its portrayal of Japanese culture during the 18th century. It serves as a testament to the importance placed on education and intellectual pursuits within society at that time. Through this artwork, we are transported back to an era where books were cherished treasures and reading was seen as an essential part of one's personal growth. The painting evokes feelings of admiration for these women who defied societal norms by embracing literature wholeheartedly. As we admire this piece from Leonard de Selva's private collection, it is evident that it captures more than just a moment frozen in time; it encapsulates the essence of Japanese history, showcasing the profound connection between art, intellectuality, and femininity.
