Caption: "Lady with a Parasol, early 1800s - A Glimpse into Edo Period Japan". This print showcases the exquisite painting titled "Lady with a Parasol" by Koikawa Harumasa, an esteemed Japanese artist from the ukiyo-e school. Created during the early 1800s in Japan's Edo period, this artwork offers us a fascinating glimpse into the daily life and cultural aesthetics of that era. In this scene, we witness a young woman gracefully navigating her way home through unpredictable weather after visiting the local bathhouse. The artist skillfully captures her determined stride against wind and rain, emphasizing her delicate neck and exposed legs. It is worth noting that such imagery later acquired sensual connotations within Japanese art; images featuring beautiful women with bare feet and towels between their teeth often carried subtle erotic undertones. The use of silver pigments on paper adds shimmering highlights to accentuate various elements within the composition. This hanging scroll exemplifies the mastery of ink and color techniques prevalent during this period. Preserved at The Cleveland Museum of Art as part of its heritage collection, this remarkable piece invites viewers to appreciate not only its aesthetic beauty but also gain insights into traditional Japanese customs and artistic traditions.
