EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome woodblock print titled "Street Scene Yoshiwara Edo period 1615-1868" takes us back to late 17th century Japan, immersing us in the vibrant atmosphere of the famous Yoshiwara district. Created by Hishikawa Moronobu, a renowned Japanese artist who sadly passed away in 1694, this print is an exquisite example of ukiyo-e prints. In this scene, we witness a courtesan leaning against a lattice teahouse window engaging in conversation with a samurai draped in his coat. The courtesan's attempt to cloak her identity serves as an intriguing element that attracts attention from passersby. Meanwhile, she skillfully plays the samisen, adding musical allure to the bustling street. The intricate details and delicate lines captured on ink and paper transport us into this historical era filled with elegance and mystery. The dimensions of 10 3/4 x 15 1/4 inches (273 x 387 cm) allow for an immersive experience as we explore every corner of this mesmerizing street scene. Artokoloro has masterfully preserved this exceptional piece from their Liszt Collection, offering art enthusiasts a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage during the Edo period. This print not only showcases Moronobu's talent but also highlights the beauty and complexity of life within Yoshiwara district—an iconic symbol of pleasure-seeking entertainment during that time.
