EDITORS COMMENTS
In this woodcut print titled "Wakanaya uchi Shiratsuyu, The courtesan Shiratsuyu of Wakana-ya" artist Hosoda Eishi transports us to the elegant world of 18th-century Japan. Measuring at 37.4 x 25.4 cm, the print showcases a full-length portrait of the renowned courtesan Shiratsuyu, known for her beauty and grace. Shiratsuyu sits gracefully in a traditional Japanese setting, facing left with an air of tranquility surrounding her. Her intricate hairstyle is adorned with numerous hairpins, each one meticulously placed to enhance her allure. As she holds a long pipe delicately in her hand, we are reminded of the refined pastimes enjoyed by women of high status during that era. Eishi's masterful use of color adds depth and vibrancy to the scene, bringing out every detail from Shiratsuyu's elaborate kimono to the subtle nuances in her expression. The woodcut technique employed further enhances the overall aesthetic appeal by adding texture and dimension. This exquisite artwork from between 1791 and 1795 captures not only the physical beauty but also embodies the essence of femininity and sophistication prevalent in Japanese culture during that time period. Quint Lox has expertly curated this piece from Liszt Collection, allowing us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic brilliance for generations to come.
