EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Komei bijin mitate Chushingura junimai tsuzuki" by Utamaro, Kitagawa showcases the exquisite beauty and artistry of 18th-century Japanese culture. The image is part of a set of twelve prints that brilliantly parodies the famous Chushingura drama using renowned beauties as its subjects. The vibrant colors and meticulous details in this woodblock print transport viewers to a world filled with elegance and grace. Each print measures approximately 387 mm in height and 257 mm in width, making it a remarkable piece within an album adorned with silk covers. Utamaro's signature can be found on each sheet, showcasing his mastery of the craft. Published by Omiya Gonkuro, this artwork represents the pinnacle of ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world) style. The women depicted in this print are dressed in traditional kimonos, adorned with elaborate hairstyles held together by delicate kanzashi hairpins. Their clothing is meticulously designed, featuring intricate patterns and vibrant colors that reflect their status as courtesans or geishas. From their clogs to their sashes, every aspect of these women's attire exudes sophistication and attention to detail. This stunning artwork serves not only as a testament to Utamaro's talent but also as a window into the fashion trends and cultural practices prevalent during Japan's Edo period. Displayed at the Fitzwilliam Museum at the University of Cambridge in the UK
