EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Number five: The first writing of the new year by Hitofude from the Tamaya Kakizome no Tamaya uchi Hitofude" takes us back to Edo, present-day Tokyo, in 1827. The image showcases a high-ranking courtesan named Hitofude from the prestigious Tamaya house, elegantly parading with her maid (kamuro) and another courtesan in the doctrine (shinzo) along Nakanocho, the bustling main street of the Yoshiwara pleasure district. The artwork is part of a larger series called "Hisakataya Nakanocho" which features various oiran or high-standing courtesans from different houses within Yoshiwara. This particular leaf is one among five and portrays these enchanting women beautifully. Accompanying this exquisite scene are two poems that add depth and emotion to an already mesmerizing composition. Created using traditional Japanese techniques such as paper and color woodcut, this piece reflects both artistic mastery and cultural significance. As we gaze upon this remarkable print, we are transported to a time when beauty was celebrated through artistry and poetry. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich history and its fascination with elegance, tradition, and storytelling.
