EDITORS COMMENTS
The Bien Senjoko face powder, created by Keisai Eisen in 1824, is a captivating glimpse into the world of beauty and self-care during Japan's Edo period. This exquisite colour woodcut print showcases the delicate artistry and attention to detail that defined Japanese ukiyo-e prints. In this enchanting scene, we are transported to a woman's dressing table adorned with various cosmetic treasures. The meticulously crafted mirror reflects her youthful visage as she delicately applies the Bien Senjoko face powder, known for its fine quality and luxurious fragrance. The artist skillfully captures not only the physical act of beautification but also the sense of tranquility and grace that accompanies it. Eisen's portrayal highlights not just vanity but also emphasizes health and hygiene practices prevalent in Japanese society at that time. The presence of perfumes and parfumerie suggests an appreciation for pleasant scents as part of one's overall well-being. This remarkable woodcut print now resides in a private collection, serving as a testament to both historical craftsmanship and enduring beauty ideals. Its inclusion in 'The Oriental Arts' signifies its significance within Asian artistic traditions. As we gaze upon this timeless artwork, we are reminded of the universal desire for self-expression through cosmetics while appreciating the rich cultural heritage preserved within each brushstroke.
