EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print titled "The Poet Sei Shonagon as a Courtesan" by Eizan, Kikukawa takes us on a journey into the world of ancient Japan. The image depicts Sei Shonagon, a renowned Japanese writer and court lady from the 10th century, disguised as a courtesan. Dressed in an exquisite kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, she exudes elegance and grace. Her delicate features are beautifully captured in this portrait, revealing her intelligence and poetic soul. It is said that Sei Shonagon's most famous work is "The Pillow Book" which showcases her talent for writing poetry. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse of the traditional geisha culture prevalent during that era. The attention to detail in both the costume and setting transports us back in time to experience the beauty of Japanese artistry. Displayed at Musee des Beaux-Arts in Angers, France, this woodblock print serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Sei Shonagon's literary contributions. As we admire this piece, we are reminded of her significant role in shaping Japanese literature.
