EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "An Oiran Seated in a Parlor Applies the Fire Treatment to the Bared Back of Another Woman" takes us back to 18th century Japan. The monochrome woodblock print, created by the talented artist Okumura Masanobu, showcases a unique therapeutic practice employed by courtesans known as Oiran. In this mesmerizing scene, we witness an Oiran expertly applying fire treatment to another woman's bared back. The intensity of the burning flames is beautifully captured through ink on paper, creating a striking contrast between light and shadow. As we delve into this historical moment, we are transported to a time when such treatments were believed to have healing properties. The image not only highlights the skillful craftsmanship of Masanobu but also sheds light on the occupation and profession of these women who played significant roles in Japanese society during that era. Their job was not limited to providing entertainment; they were also knowledgeable in various therapeutic practices. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exquisite piece serves as a window into Japanese culture and heritage. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind ukiyo-e prints and their ability to convey stories from centuries past. Through this photograph print, we can explore different facets of life - from traditional occupations to ancient therapies - all encapsulated within one frame.
