EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite Antique Japanese Woodblock, capturing the graceful essence of a woman serving tea. The portrait depicts Naniwaya Okita, a tea house waitress adorned in a stunning kimono, delicately presenting a cup of tea. Created in 1790 by the renowned artist Utamaro Kitagawa, this woodblock print bears his signature and exemplifies his mastery as a ukiyo-e master. Utamaro's bijinga genre, known for its portrayal of beautiful women, is beautifully showcased in this piece. The vibrant floral patterns on the kimono harmonize with the intricate wood grain background, creating an enchanting visual composition. This image transports us to 19th century Japan and immerses us in the artistry and elegance of traditional culture. The composition captures every detail with precision - from the geisha's elegant posture to her mesmerizing hairstyle adorned with flowers. As she kneels gracefully while looking into the distance, we can almost imagine ourselves partaking in an authentic Japanese tea ceremony. The muted color palette adds depth and sophistication to this painted image while emphasizing pale skin tones that were highly valued during that era. The graduated colors further enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of this oriental style woodblock art. Bernard Allum's photograph flawlessly preserves this timeless masterpiece for all art enthusiasts to admire and appreciate its historical significance.
