EDITORS COMMENTS
Ono no Komachi, a renowned figure from the 9th century, is depicted in this woodblock print from the series "Fashionable Children as the Six Immortal Poets" by Kikukawa Eizan. Created during the 1814/17 Edo period, this oban-sized print showcases the poet in a traditional Japanese kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors. The green and black color palette adds a sense of tranquility and elegance to the composition. Ono no Komachi, also known as Kayoi Komachi, was a celebrated poetess and the subject of many works in Japanese literature. In this print, she is portrayed as a mother, cradling her child in a loving embrace. The artist masterfully captures the tender moment of motherhood, as Ono no Komachi passes down the rich literary and artistic heritage of her culture to the next generation. The series "Fashionable Children as the Six Immortal Poets" is a unique blend of art and literature, where the poets are depicted as children in contemporary clothing. This innovative approach highlights the timeless nature of poetry and its connection to daily life during the Edo period. This striking print, with its exquisite calligraphy and detailed block printing, is a testament to the artistic skill and creativity of Kikukawa Eizan and the artistic schools of Japan during the 19th century. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, showcasing the rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions of Japan.
