EDITORS COMMENTS
This colour woodblock print by Utamaro, titled "Woman Putting on Make-up" transports us to the elegant world of 18th-century Japan. The image depicts a geisha delicately applying make-up while gazing into a mirror, her face illuminated by soft candlelight. Utamaro's masterful technique and attention to detail are evident in every brushstroke, capturing the grace and beauty of this moment. The vibrant colors used in the print bring life to the scene, highlighting the intricate patterns on the woman's kimono and showcasing her porcelain-like complexion. The composition invites us to contemplate not only the act of putting on make-up but also its deeper significance within Japanese culture. In traditional Japanese society, make-up was an art form that allowed women to transform themselves into ethereal beings known as geishas. These highly skilled entertainers were revered for their talents in music, dance, and conversation. As we admire this artwork, we are transported back in time to an era where beauty rituals held great importance and were intertwined with notions of femininity and self-expression. This print serves as a window into both historical Japan and our own fascination with personal adornment. Displayed at Musee Guimet in Paris, France, this piece is part of Utamaro's iconic ukiyo-e collection—a genre that captured scenes from everyday life during Japan's Edo period (1603-1868). It continues to captivate viewers worldwide with its timeless charm and exquisite craftsmanship.
