EDITORS COMMENTS
Geisha Accompanying Dancing Measles with Samisen" is a captivating woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi in 1862, during the Edo period of Japan. This stunning piece showcases three individuals in traditional Japanese attire, with the central figure being a geisha, accompanied by a man and a woman, all engaged in an unusual scene. The geisha, elegantly dressed in a kimono adorned with intricate patterns and a vibrant blue obi, plays the samisen, a three-stringed musical instrument, with great skill and concentration. The man, dressed in a simple robe, claps his hands in rhythm with the music, while the woman, wearing a traditional dress, appears to be affected by measles, as indicated by the red spots covering her body. The print is a prime example of the Ukiyo-e art style, which translates to "pictures of the floating world." This genre focused on the pleasures and fashions of the floating world, which included the arts, entertainment, and the lives of the common people. The calligraphy at the bottom of the print, written in elegant script, provides the title and artist's name. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Tokugawa era and offers a glimpse into the lives of the people during that time. This woodblock print is now part of the collection of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it is preserved for future generations to appreciate the beauty and historical significance of Japanese art.
