EDITORS COMMENTS
The Oystercatcher Dance (Miyakodori) is a captivating woodblock print from the series 'Beautiful Dance Customs' created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitao Shigemasa around 1778. This exquisite print showcases two elegantly dressed women engaged in the traditional Miyakodori dance, named after the oystercatcher bird due to the dancers' costumes resembling the bird's distinctive plumage. The scene is set against a serene background, with lush greenery and a tranquil pond reflecting the clear blue sky. The women, dressed in vibrant kimonos, wear traditional accessories such as hats, fans, and obi sashes. The intricate patterns on their clothing, featuring roses and other floral designs, are meticulously rendered in rich colors, from pink and brown to the deep hues of the calligraphy in the cartouche. The dancers' poses are graceful and fluid, with one woman extending her fan and the other holding a handheld fan, their expressions serene and focused. The print's title, "Miyakodori," is written in elegant calligraphy at the bottom, adding to the overall beauty and refinement of the artwork. This stunning print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period, showcasing the traditional customs and artistic techniques of the time. The intricate details and vibrant colors make it a must-have for any collection of Asian art or for those interested in the history of fashion and dance.
