EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print showcases the artistry of Okumura Masanobu, a renowned Japanese artist from the 18th century. Titled "Courtesans Drawn in Osaka style (right), Kyoto style (center), and Edo style (left). . . c. 1748" this piece is part of Masanobu's collection called "Courtesans of the Three Capitals: A Set of Three". In this artwork, Masanobu skillfully depicts three courtesans dressed in distinct styles representative of their respective cities - Osaka, Kyoto, and Edo (now Tokyo). Each figure exudes elegance and grace as they don exquisite kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The attention to detail is remarkable, from the delicate accessories such as parasols held by some courtesans to the elaborate hairstyles that signify their social status. The use of color woodblock printing adds depth and richness to each character's portrayal. Masanobu's work not only captures the beauty and fashion trends prevalent during Japan's Tokugawa period but also provides insight into different artistic schools like Osaka School and Torii School. Displayed at an art gallery or institute like Art Institute Chicago, this print serves as a testament to Japan's rich cultural heritage. It invites viewers to appreciate both the technical skill involved in block printing techniques and the historical significance behind traditional dress. Overall, this artwork transports us back in time while celebrating the timeless allure of Japanese culture through its depiction of these mesmerizing courtesans.
