EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Kakogawa Konami, Oboshi Rikiya and the Maidservant Suki" takes us back to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro, this piece is part of his series "Models of Love Talk: Clouds Form Over the Moon (Chiwa kagami tsuki no murakumo)". The image showcases three individuals in traditional Japanese attire, each with their own distinct character. Kakogawa Konami, a graceful woman dressed in an exquisite kimono adorned with vibrant pink roses, captivates our attention. Standing beside her is Oboshi Rikiya, a samurai exuding strength and nobility. The presence of these two figures suggests a tale of love and intrigue. Completing the trio is the maidservant Suki, whose role becomes apparent through her humble appearance and tea service. Her black hair neatly styled with kanzashi adds to her charm as she delicately holds a teacup. Utamaro's mastery in color woodblock printing brings life to this scene from centuries ago. The intricate details in clothing and hair ornaments showcase his artistic skill while providing insight into traditional Japanese fashion. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to possess it, we are transported to a different time and place - immersing ourselves in the beauty of Japan's rich cultural heritage captured by Utamaro's brush strokes.
