EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating color woodcut print from the "Picture Book of Flowers of the Four Seasons" (Ehon Kacho-fugetsu), created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro in 1801. This exquisite work of art showcases the joy and merriment of young girls as they celebrate the beginning of a new year in the Far East during the Edo period. The image is set against a serene backdrop of a tranquil landscape, with the girls gathered around a table filled with traditional New Year's Day games. The girls are dressed in colorful kimonos, their faces expressing excitement and delight as they engage in the festivities. One girl is playing a game of go-moku, a strategic board game, while another is attempting to thread a needle with her mouth. Another girl is blowing bubbles, creating a sense of playfulness and lightheartedness. The intricate details of the print are truly remarkable, from the delicate folds of the girls' kimonos to the intricate patterns of the tablecloth and the delicate blossoms of the cherry trees in the background. Utamaro's masterful use of color and composition creates a vivid and lively scene that transports us to another time and place. This woodcut print is a testament to the beauty and richness of Japanese art during the Edo period, and a reminder of the enduring traditions and customs that continue to be celebrated in Japan and beyond. It is a true masterpiece that continues to captivate and inspire art lovers and collectors around the world.
