EDITORS COMMENTS
Women Crossing the Oi River" is a captivating triptych woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Toyokuni I during the 19th century, specifically in the Edo period (1603-1868). This stunning artwork, now housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), depicts a group of women and men crossing the Oi River, a significant geographical feature in Japan. The image, set in the Nineteenth Century, portrays the adversity and perseverance of travelers during this era. The women, dressed in traditional kimonos, are seen carrying their belongings, including clothing and other essentials, as they make their way across the river. One woman is even seen swimming with her belongings in a basket, while others are being carried in a palanquin or sedan chair by servants. The men, dressed in formal attire, assist in the transportation of the litter and other items. The triptych format of the print allows for a panoramic view of the scene, giving the viewer a sense of the journey and the challenges faced by the travelers. The use of color and detail in the print is remarkable, with each figure and item rendered with care and precision. The clothing and apparel of the characters are particularly noteworthy, showcasing the traditional dress and fashion of the time. This artwork is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people during the Tokugawa period (1603-1868), an era marked by strict social hierarchies and traditional customs. The image also highlights the role of servants and porters in facilitating travel during this time, and the privilege and occupation of the wealthy travelers. Overall, "Women Crossing the Oi River" is a beautiful and intriguing piece of Asian art and heritage, offering a glimpse into the past and the challenges of travel during the 1800s in Japan.
