EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite Japanese woodblock print, created in 1790 by the master Kitagawa Utamaro, transports us to a world of elegance and refinement. The image captures a young woman blowing on a glass poppin, a coveted toy among the nouveau rich of the merchant class during that era. Utamaro's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. The delicate cherry flower motifs sprinkled on the light pink checker-board design of her kimono symbolize youth and femininity. Her neatly dressed hair reflects both decency and sophistication, indicating her status as a daughter from the upper-middle class. She wears geta sandals, which are traditionally worn during ceremonies or special occasions. Part of a series depicting various aspects of Japanese culture, this painted image showcases Utamaro's mastery in capturing human beauty with his signature oriental style woodblock art. The color palette illuminates the scene while highlighting intricate patterns found throughout Japanese culture. Intriguingly, we catch glimpses of domestic staff attending to their duties in the background—a subtle reminder of societal hierarchy during that time period. This print offers an enchanting glimpse into Japan's past—its geisha traditions, captivating kimonos, and deep-rooted love for romance and nature. Bernard Allum has skillfully captured this timeless piece through photography at Fine Art Storehouse—an homage to one of history's most revered artists and his contribution to preserving Japanese cultural heritage for generations to come.
