Empress Jito Tenno, early 1840s
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kuniyoshi, part of his series "Hundred Poets, One Poem Each." This exquisite artwork, created during the Edo period in the 19th century, showcases Empress Jito Tenno (Jito Empress), a significant figure in Japanese history. The Empress is depicted in a serene setting, seated by a window with a beautiful view of mountains in the background. She is shown wearing traditional Japanese attire, adorned with a sun-disc and tassels, symbolizing her royal status. The use of color and intricate details in the print bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the geographical features and cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa era. Empress Jito Tenno is known for her exceptional calligraphy skills and is often associated with the famous poet Ichiyusai. The print captures her in the act of writing, adding an element of literature and poetry to the artwork. The image of the Empress, with a sun blind in the foreground, also symbolizes the importance of the sun in Japanese culture and the changing of the seasons. This woodblock print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich history and art of Japan during the Edo period. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print serve as a testament to Utagawa Kuniyoshi's mastery of the ukiyo-e style, making it a valuable addition to the museum's collection and a must-see for art enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
