EDITORS COMMENTS
This monochrome woodblock print, titled "Lady Playing Shamisen, with Her Lover and Attendant Nearby" transports us back to 17th or 18th century Japan. Created by the talented artist Nishikawa Sukenobu, this exquisite piece showcases the beauty and elegance of traditional Japanese culture. In this scene, a graceful lady dressed in a stunning kimono captivates our attention as she skillfully plays the shamisen, a traditional Japanese musical instrument. Her lover stands nearby, his gaze fixed upon her with admiration and love. An attendant dutifully attends to their needs, pouring tea from an elegant teapot. The intricate details of their clothing reflect the fashion trends of that era while also highlighting the social hierarchy present in Japanese society at the time. The delicate lines and shading created through ink on paper give depth and dimension to each figure portrayed in this artwork. Nishikawa Sukenobu's mastery is evident in his ability to capture not only physical appearances but also emotions and relationships between individuals. Through this woodblock print, he invites us into a world where music intertwines with love and devotion. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of ukiyo-e art—a genre that flourished during Japan's Edo period—and continues to inspire artists worldwide today.
