EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Empress Komyo (Komyoko), from the series 'Three Beautiful Women (San bijin)'", takes us back to 19th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by the talented artist Shinsai Ryuryukyo, this artwork showcases his mastery of color and block printing techniques. The image depicts Empress Komyo in her morning routine, elegantly dressed in a traditional Japanese kimono. She stands on an engawa, a veranda overlooking a serene garden with potted plants and lush greenery. The sliding screens behind her add depth to the composition, creating a sense of tranquility and harmony between nature and human presence. Every detail is meticulously captured - from the delicate folds of her clothing to the ladle she holds gracefully in her hand. The vibrant colors used bring life to both Empress Komyo and her surroundings, emphasizing their beauty and grace. This woodblock print not only showcases Shinsai's artistic skill but also provides us with a glimpse into Japanese culture during that time period. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of ukiyo-e prints, which were highly popular among art enthusiasts during the Tokugawa period. As we admire this exquisite piece at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery, we are transported back in time to witness Empress Komyo getting dressed for another day in royal splendor.
