EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to Japan in the early 18th century. A woman adorned in a beautiful kimono sits gracefully on a porch, surrounded by an enchanting scene of chrysanthemums growing through fencing. Her delicate hand holds a mirror, reflecting her serene face with utmost clarity. The intricate pattern of chrysanthemums on her kimono adds an element of elegance and symbolism to the image. Chrysanthemums have long been revered in Japanese culture as symbols of beauty, longevity, and rejuvenation. Their presence here suggests that the woman herself embodies these qualities. As she gazes into the mirror held delicately in her left hand, one can't help but wonder what thoughts occupy her mind. Is she contemplating her own reflection or perhaps seeking deeper introspection? The mirror becomes not just a tool for vanity but also a metaphor for self-reflection and inner exploration. In her right hand rests a hair pen, hinting at meticulous grooming rituals and attention to detail that were prevalent during this time period. This small accessory speaks volumes about the importance placed on personal appearance and presentation within Japanese society. Created by Okumura Toshinobu between 1728-1732 using paper and copper powder techniques, this artwork showcases both technical skill and artistic finesse. It serves as a timeless reminder of Japan's rich cultural heritage while inviting us to delve into its intriguing history through the lens of this enigmatic woman's life
