EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Courtesan Myōgaya House Edo period 1615-1868" takes us back to ancient Japan, specifically the Edo period between 1615 and 1868. Created by Torii Kiyomasu, a renowned Japanese artist active from 1696 to 1716, this polychrome woodblock print showcases his exceptional skill in capturing the essence of the era. In this artwork, we see a standing courtesan from the Yoshiwara district named Myōgaya House. She is depicted engrossed in reading a poem slip with an inscription that refers to Komachi, a famous Heian poetess known as Ono no Komachi. This detail highlights not only her beauty but also her intellectual prowess and literary accomplishments. The vibrant colors used in this piece bring life to every intricate detail of the courtesan's attire and surroundings. The delicate lines created through ink on paper showcase Kiyomasu's mastery of woodblock printing techniques. Through this image, we are transported into the refined world of Edo-period Japan where artistry thrived alongside cultural traditions. It serves as both an acknowledgment of historical significance and a celebration of artistic excellence. This print by Artokoloro allows us to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also provides insight into the rich history and culture that shaped Japan during one of its most fascinating periods.
