EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Ono no Komachi, between circa 1845 and circa 1849. From number 9," showcases the enigmatic figure of Ono no Komachi, a renowned poetess from the Heian period (794-1185) of Japan. The print is a stunning example of the Rokkasen series, a collection of images depicting the famous "Six Poets of the Rokkasen," including Ono no Komachi. The composition of the print is beautifully balanced, with the poetess positioned in the center, dressed in a richly patterned kimono, her arms crossed as she holds a fan. The intricate design of her clothing, with its vibrant blues and browns, is a testament to the artistry and craftsmanship of the Edo period (1603-1868). The poetess's expression is thoughtful and contemplative, her gaze fixed on some distant point, perhaps lost in the world of her poetry. The natural landscape behind her is equally breathtaking, with rolling hills, winding rivers, and lush foliage providing a serene backdrop. The delicate calligraphy that adorns the print adds an elegant touch, further emphasizing the importance of poetry and literature in Japanese culture. This woodblock print is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the beauty and rich history of Japan during the 19th century. The intricate details, from the patterns on the poetess's kimono to the delicate brushstrokes of the calligraphy, make it a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, literature, or fashion. The print is currently housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
