EDITORS COMMENTS
Whose Sleeves? at Daimonji-ya" is an exquisite woodblock print from Japan's Edo period, dated approximately 1776. The print, which measures around 13.5 x 18.5 inches, depicts a scene of elegant refinement and intrigue, featuring five women adorned in traditional kimonos and geta (wooden sandals) gathered in a serene courtyard setting. At the center of the composition, three courtesans, dressed in richly patterned and colored kimonos, engage in a playful game of "whose sleeves?" as they reach out to touch each other's kimonos, trying to guess whose belong to whom. The game, a popular pastime among the Japanese elite, adds an air of lightheartedness and camaraderie to the scene. Two young attendants, dressed in simpler kimonos and with demure expressions, stand behind the courtesans, attentively observing their mistresses. Their presence underscores the hierarchical nature of the courtesan world and the importance of the attendants in supporting and serving their mistresses. The print is a masterful example of the ukiyo-e (floating world) style, which flourished during the Edo period and celebrated the beauty and transience of life. The intricate details of the women's kimonos, the delicate folds of their fabric, and the meticulous rendering of their facial expressions all serve to transport the viewer to a world of beauty, elegance, and refinement. The print was likely produced by a skilled woodblock artist and printer working for the renowned Daimonji-ya publishing house, which was known for its high-quality ukiyo-e prints. The print's vibrant colors and intricate details are a testament to the skill and artistry of the artist and the craftsmanship of the printer. Overall, "Whose Sleeves? at Daimonji-ya" is a stunning work of art that offers a glimpse into the world of Edo period courtesans and the beauty and elegance of traditional Japanese culture.
