EDITORS COMMENTS
Mikawa: A Scene from the Sixties-odd Provinces by Utagawa Kuniyoshi, c1845, is a stunning color woodblock print that offers a glimpse into the traditional clothing and culture of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The print, part of the Views of the Sixty-odd Provinces series, depicts two women in elegant kimonos, embracing each other in a serene landscape setting. Kuniyoshi, a renowned artist of the Ukiyo-e genre, masterfully captures the intricate details of the women's clothing. The kimonos, with their vibrant colors and intricate patterns, are a testament to the rich heritage of Japanese textile arts. The women's hair is styled in elaborate updos, adorned with accessories such as combs and ribbons. The background of the print features a tranquil scene of Mikawa, a province located in present-day Shizuoka prefecture. The landscape is dotted with cherry blossom trees, a symbol of the transient nature of life in Japan. The women's embrace adds an emotional depth to the scene, emphasizing the strong bonds between women in Japanese society during this era. This woodblock print is a valuable piece of cultural heritage, showcasing the beauty and intricacy of traditional Japanese clothing and the natural landscapes of the country. The print is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, fashion, and history. This particular print is held in the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period.
