The Waitress Ohisa of the Takashimaya, c. 1792/93
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating woodblock print by Katsukawa Shuncho that transports us back to the vibrant streets of Edo-period Japan. This exquisite artwork, housed in the Art Institute of Chicago's Arts of Asia collection, showcases the mastery and beauty of ukiyo-e printing. In this scene, we are introduced to Ohisa, a graceful and elegant waitress at Takashimaya. Dressed in traditional attire with delicate floral patterns adorning her kimono, she captivates viewers with her poise and charm. With a hand-held fan gently held against her chest and an iris flower gracefully tucked behind her ear, she exudes both grace and natural beauty. Shuncho's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print - from the intricate block printing technique that brings out vibrant colors to his skillful rendering of nature's elements. The irises surrounding Ohisa symbolize purity and elegance while hinting at the fleeting nature of life itself. Through this artwork, Shuncho invites us into a world where women like Ohisa played vital roles as they served customers with grace and hospitality. It not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa period. As we gaze upon "The Waitress Ohisa" we are reminded that art has no boundaries; it transcends time and space
