EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art titled "Woman as an Itinerant Monk: Onna Komuso (Otsu-e)" from the late 1600s to early 1700s. Created by an unknown artist during Japan's Edo period, this hanging scroll is currently housed in The Cleveland Museum of Art. The painting depicts a woman dressed as an itinerant monk, known as Onna Komuso. With delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors, the artist beautifully captures her serene expression and graceful posture. The use of ink and color on paper adds depth and texture to the artwork. During this period, women were not typically allowed to become monks or wander freely like their male counterparts.

Heritage Art/Heritage Images has expertly reproduced this masterpiece into a stunning print that allows viewers to appreciate its intricate details up close. This print serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and offers insight into the artistic expressions prevalent during that era.
