EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, titled "Folding Fan Seller, Round Fan Seller, and Barley Pounder (Ogi-uri, uchiwa-uri, mugi-tsuki)" is a stunning representation of the Female Geisha Section of the Yoshiwara Niwaka Festival from the year 1793. The print showcases three individuals, two women and one man, engaged in their respective trades against the backdrop of the vibrant and colorful Yoshiwara district. The woman on the left is dressed in a folding fan seller's attire, her hair styled in an elegant chignon, holding a fan open to display its intricate design. She wears a kimono in shades of pink and grey, with a green obi sash adding a pop of color to her outfit. In the center, a round fan seller is depicted, her hair styled in a high topknot, wearing a red kimono with a rose design. She holds a fan with a white background and black calligraphy, adding to the overall artistic composition of the print. The man on the right is shown as a barley pounder, with a mortar and pestle in hand, dressed in simple grey clothing. His hair is styled in a traditional male topknot. This print is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Japan during the Edo period, showcasing the intricacies of block printing, color usage, and the vibrant culture of the time. The print is an oban size, making it a significant piece in any collection of Asian art.
