EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Fuji no uraba" is part of the series "A Fashionable Parody of the Tale of Genji" created by Hosoda Eishi in the late 18th century. The print showcases a scene from a wisteria party where Yugiri, son of the Shining Prince, has successfully captured the heart of Kumoinokari, daughter of To-no-Chuju. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this moment to life as we witness guests arriving at a traditional Japanese house during the Edo period. The triptych format allows us to explore different perspectives within this bustling gathering. Men and women elegantly dressed in exquisite clothing can be seen strolling through doorways and along verandas adorned with beautiful parasols and umbrellas. Hosoda Eishi's mastery in block printing shines through as he captures not only the physical beauty but also conveys a sense of cultural heritage and artistic expression. Each figure is meticulously crafted with delicate lines that highlight their gracefulness and poise. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are transported back in time to experience an era filled with elegance and refinement. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich history and its enduring love for artistry. This print is truly a testament to Hosoda Eishi's talent as well as his contribution to ukiyo-e, or "pictures of the floating world. "
