EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Sugawara of the Tsuruya with Attendants Mumeno and Takeno" was created by Hosoda Eishi in 1787 during the Edo period in Japan. The artwork showcases a scene from traditional Japanese society, offering a glimpse into the lives of its people. The print features three female figures dressed in exquisite kimonos, each representing different roles within their occupation. Sugawara stands at the center, adorned in an elegant kimono that signifies her status as a high-ranking courtesan. Flanking her are two kamuros or young attendants - Mumeno and Takeno - who assist Sugawara in her daily tasks. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold and pattern on their clothing has been meticulously captured through colour woodblock printing techniques. The vibrant colours bring life to this snapshot of eighteenth-century Japan. Eishi's portrayal not only highlights the beauty of traditional costume but also provides insight into social hierarchies and occupations during this era. It serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage and artistic traditions. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute of Chicago, this piece exemplifies ukiyo-e artistry while preserving historical narratives for generations to come. As we admire this masterpiece, we are transported back in time to witness a moment frozen forever – an enduring testament to Hosoda Eishi's skill as an artist and his contribution to Japanese art history.
