EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Number four: the gate decorations of Togaeri from Matsubaya Yon" takes us back to Edo, present-day Tokyo, in the year 1827. In this exquisite artwork by Yashima Gakutei, we are transported to Nakanocho, the bustling main street of Yoshiwara - a renowned pleasure district of that era. The focal point of this print is Togaeri, a high-ranking courtesan from the prestigious Matsubaya house. She gracefully walks along with two maids known as kamuro, adorned in traditional attire. As they stroll through Nakanocho during New Year's celebrations, their path is embellished with magnificent gate decorations symbolizing good fortune and prosperity. The background showcases bamboo and pine branches intertwined with delicate fern leaves. Gakutei's attention to detail is evident not only in his depiction of these enchanting women but also in the inclusion of two poems that add depth and emotion to the scene. This particular print is part of a five-part series created for the Hisakataya poetry association. As we admire this masterpiece on paper through its vibrant color woodcut technique, we are reminded of the opulence and cultural significance associated with courtesans during that time period. Gakutei skillfully captures both their elegance and allure while transporting us into a world filled with beauty and poetic inspiration.
