EDITORS COMMENTS
Yosooi of the Matsubaya" is a captivating color woodblock print from the series "Selections from Six Houses in Yoshiwara" created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1801 or 1802. Yoshiwara was the famous red light district of Edo Period Japan, and this print showcases the elegant and alluring Oiran Yosooi from the Matsubaya house. Utamaro masterfully captures Yosooi's enchanting beauty as she sits before a letter, her expressive face filled with deep thought. Her long, black hair cascades down her back, adorned with delicate flowers and ornaments. She wears an exquisite kimono, the vibrant orange color contrasting beautifully with the soft pink and rose hues of her clothing. The intricate details of her traditional dress, from the obi sash to the delicate sleeve patterns, are meticulously depicted, showcasing the artistic skill and dedication of the artist. The use of color and composition in this print is truly remarkable, with the orange color dominating the image and drawing the viewer's attention to Yosooi's captivating presence. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa Period and the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which focused on depicting the pleasures and fashions of the floating world. The print is now part of the collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its stunning beauty and historical significance.
