EDITORS COMMENTS
The Cherry Tree of Yang Guifei, c1823, is a stunning color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Gakutei (also known as Harunobu Yashima, Sadaoka Yashima, or Maruya Onikichi). This print is part of the series "Cherry Trees for the Katsushika Circle," which showcases the beauty and elegance of cherry trees in various settings. The print depicts a woman, believed to be the legendary Chinese beauty Yang Guifei, standing on a balcony overlooking a cherry tree in full bloom. The tree's branches are laden with pink and white blossoms, creating a breathtaking contrast against the blue and white background. The architectural feature of the balcony adds an element of refinement and sophistication to the scene. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and its deep connection to nature. Cherry blossoms have long been a source of inspiration for Japanese artists, poets, and writers, symbolizing the transience of life and the beauty of the natural world. This print is a rare and valuable piece of art from the 19th century, showcasing the intricate details and vibrant colors that are characteristic of the color woodblock print technique. The use of mica and brass in the print adds an extra layer of texture and depth to the image. The Cherry Tree of Yang Guifei is now housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) in the United States, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The print is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the beauty and wonder of the natural world.
