EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable female chanter for the Joruri Puppet Theater, captured around 1920 by the talented artist Arai Kou. Dressed in an exquisite kimono and adorned with vibrant colors, this woman embodies the essence of traditional Japanese fashion. The intricate details of her clothing, created using gold on silk and gofun ink, highlight the rich heritage art that Japan is renowned for. With a cup of tea in hand, she exudes grace and elegance as she prepares to enchant audiences with her melodic voice. Surrounded by hanging scrolls depicting scenes from puppet theater performances, this image transports us to a world where marionettes come alive through music and storytelling. The samisen, a traditional musical instrument used in Joruri performances, rests beside her as a testament to her profession as both singer and musician. As we gaze at this photograph displayed within the hallowed halls of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of the cultural significance attached to puppetry in Japan. This art form has long been cherished as it combines visual aesthetics with musical prowess. Arai Kou's masterful portrayal captures not only the skill required for such an occupation but also celebrates women who have made their mark in traditionally male-dominated fields. Through this image, we honor not just one individual but all those who have dedicated themselves to preserving Japan's rich artistic traditions.
