EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Main Street Yoshiwara Starlight Night" takes us back to the enchanting Edo period in Japan. Created by Utagawa Kunisada II, a talented pupil of Kunimasa, this piece showcases the artist's mastery in capturing the essence of a bustling street scene. The print depicts a vibrant main street in Yoshiwara illuminated by lanterns that cast a warm glow on the surroundings. The foreground is adorned with intricately detailed buildings and figures engaged in various activities. One cannot help but be drawn into this lively atmosphere filled with energy and excitement. Notably, this artwork holds deeper significance as it commemorates an important event - the marriage of Baidō Kunimasa's daughter in 1846. It serves as both a celebration and remembrance of this joyous occasion within the artist's family history. Measuring at 8 1/8 x 7 1/8 inches (206 x 181 cm), this surimono print beautifully captures every intricate detail using ink and color on paper. Its exquisite craftsmanship transports viewers to another time, allowing them to immerse themselves in the rich cultural heritage of Japan during one of its most fascinating periods. As we gaze upon "Main Street Yoshiwara Starlight Night" we are reminded not only of Utagawa Kunisada II's artistic prowess but also his ability to preserve moments from history through his brushstrokes. This remarkable piece from Artokolor
