EDITORS COMMENTS
Usugumo," a captivating work of art from the series "Framed Pictures of Women for the Katsushika Circle" created by the renowned Japanese artist Gakutei around 1822, showcases the enigmatic allure of a courtesan named Usugumo. The print, which is part of the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period, is a stunning example of color woodblock printing. Usugumo, dressed in formal attire, poses against a geometrically patterned background, her dark skin contrasting sharply with the cool blue hues that surround her. The intricate design elements, reminiscent of the gogaku theatrical tradition, add depth and complexity to the composition. The artist, whose name is also known as Harunobu Yashima or Sadaoka Yashima, masterfully captures the essence of the courtesan's profession, her poised demeanor and enigmatic expression hinting at the allure and mystery that surrounded these women in Japanese society. The print bears the signature of the artist, Gakutei, and is attributed to Harunobu Sugawara or Ryosa, who were among the many aliases used by the artist throughout his career. The print, which is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, is a testament to the artistic innovation and mastery of the woodblock printing technique during the 19th century. The intricate details, from the delicate patterns to the subtle shading, are a testament to the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who produced these works. Usugumo's portrait, with its captivating beauty and intricate design, invites the viewer to explore the rich history and cultural significance of the courtesan class in Japan during the Edo period.
