EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome woodblock print from the Edo period showcases the intricate details of a Courtesan Actor pouring tea by a light lantern. Created by Utagawa Toyokuni, a renowned Japanese artist during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, this print transports us back to Tokugawa-era Japan. The image depicts an elegant courtesan pouring tea for her guest with utmost grace and poise. The soft glow of the lantern casts gentle shadows on their faces, adding depth and mystery to the scene. The delicate lines and masterful use of ink bring life to every fold in their robes, capturing the essence of traditional Japanese fashion. During this era, sumptuary laws were extended to regulate luxury items such as bedding known as "yagu". As described by contemporary writers, these futons were embroidered with black silk and velvet sleeping robes called "yogi" lined with red crepe and padded with finest cotton. This attention to detail is evident in the print's portrayal of luxurious fabrics draped around both figures. Artokoloro has skillfully preserved this historical masterpiece through meticulous printing techniques that honor its original beauty. This exquisite piece offers viewers a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Toyokuni's exceptional talent as an artist. As we admire this remarkable artwork from Artokoloro's Liszt Collection, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its ability to transport us back in time - immersing ourselves in the elegance and refinement
