EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Two courtesans and a young man under a mosquito net" transports us to the vibrant world of 18th-century Tokyo. Created by renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro in 1793, this exquisite colour woodcut captures the essence of beauty and secrecy. The scene unfolds within an intimate setting as two alluring courtesans engage with a young man beneath a delicate mosquito net. Dressed in elegant kimonos adorned with intricate chrysanthemum patterns, their allure is undeniable. One of the courtesans discreetly slides a folded letter towards the man, who puffs on his pipe behind the translucent barrier. As we peer into this clandestine encounter, another courtesan watches from behind a folding screen, her curiosity evident. In the background, a decorative screen showcases an enchanting painting depicting a serene river flowing amidst blooming plum blossoms. Utamaro's masterful technique brings every detail to life on this paper print measuring 377 mm in height and 247 mm in width. The mention of his name on the object solidifies its authenticity and historical significance. This mesmerizing artwork offers us not only an insight into Japan's rich cultural heritage but also invites us to ponder upon themes of desire, secrecy, and human connection that transcend time.
