EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning hand-colored woodblock print, titled "Kaguya Hime" (The Princess Kaguya), is a masterpiece from the School of Suzuki Harunobu, dating back to the 17th century during the Edo period in Japan. The print is part of a series known as "A Collection of Beauties," showcasing the exquisite beauty and elegance of women during this time. In the image, a young woman, believed to be Kaguya Hime, is depicted sitting indoors, holding a fan in her left hand and gazing off into the distance with a thoughtful expression. She is dressed in a vibrant kimono, adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors. The kimono's sleeves are folded back, revealing the elegant lining beneath. Her hair is styled in an elaborate updo, held in place by a decorative hairpin. The interior of the room is equally captivating, with a screen behind the woman displaying a scene of nature, adding to the serene atmosphere of the image. The attention to detail in the print is remarkable, from the delicate folds of the kimono to the subtle shading used to create depth and texture. The School of Suzuki Harunobu was known for its innovative approach to ukiyo-e (floating world) art, which focused on the pleasures and beauties of everyday life. This print is a testament to the school's skill and artistry, providing a glimpse into the fashion and culture of Japan during the Tokugawa period.
