EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ladies Sewing Kijo saihō no zu" takes us back to the Meiji period in Japan, specifically September 3rd, 1887. Created by Artokoloro, this triptych of polychrome woodblock prints showcases the artistry and cultural significance of that era. The image depicts a scene where upper-class women are engrossed in sewing activities. The ladies are seen ironing men's clothing using sewing machines, which were considered a novelty during the 1870s to mid-1880s. This transition from old-style hand-sewing to machine stitching was enforced by the government for its employees, seamstresses, and tailors. The artist, Adachi Shosai Ginko, beautifully captures not only the intricate details of these women at work but also their preference for treadle-operated sewing machines. Wearing Western dresses instead of traditional attire further highlights the influence of foreign culture on Japanese society during that time. This print offers a glimpse into an important period in Japanese history when modernization was taking place rapidly. It serves as a reminder of how technology can transform everyday tasks and shape societal norms. The Liszt Collection brings this historical artwork to life with its impeccable reproduction quality and attention to detail.
