The Courtesan Hanaogi of the Ogiya, with Child Attendants Yoshino and Tatsuta, c. 1793
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by Hosoda Eishi that transports us to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. This exquisite artwork showcases the intricate details of traditional clothing and customs during the Edo period. In this triptych, we see Hanaogi, a courtesan from the renowned Ogiya establishment, elegantly dressed in a stunning kimono adorned with delicate patterns. Her graceful presence is complemented by her two young attendants, Yoshino and Tatsuta, who are also dressed in colorful kimonos. The artist skillfully captures the essence of these characters through their facial expressions and body language. The girls' youthful innocence contrasts beautifully with Hanaogi's refined poise as they stand beside her holding paper lanterns that softly illuminate their surroundings. Eishi's mastery of color woodblock printing is evident in this piece as he expertly blends rich hues to create depth and texture. The attention to detail extends beyond the figures themselves; even the background features meticulously rendered elements such as cherry blossoms symbolizing beauty and transience. This artwork offers us a glimpse into Japanese society during this era - its traditions, occupations, and social hierarchies. It serves as a testament to Eishi's talent for capturing not only physical appearances but also emotions and cultural nuances within his prints. Displayed at the Art Institute of
