EDITORS COMMENTS
"The Style of a Feudal Lord's Household (Yashiki-fu) is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro, created during the late Edo period, around 1800/01. This stunning artwork is part of Utamaro's "Guide to Contemporary Styles" (Tosei fuzoku tsu) series, which showcases the fashion and lifestyle of the aristocracy. In this print, Utamaro masterfully depicts a refined and elegant feudal lord, dressed in the traditional clothing of the time. The lord is shown in a contemplative pose, holding a folding fan, while a woman attendant stands behind him, her black hair pulled back in an intricate bun, her own kimono adorned with vibrant maroon and gold patterns. The rich colors and intricate details of their clothing and accessories are beautifully rendered, from the obi sash tied in a complex knot to the delicate obiage undergarment. This print offers a glimpse into the domestic life of the aristocracy during the Tokugawa period, showcasing the opulence and sophistication of their clothing and surroundings. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a true masterpiece of Japanese artistic tradition. The Style of a Feudal Lord's Household is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or the history of the aristocracy in Japan." This print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. It is a testament to the enduring legacy of Kitagawa Utamaro and the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which continues to influence contemporary art and fashion to this day.
