EDITORS COMMENTS
Geisha Tuning a Samisen" is a captivating woodblock print created by Yanagawa Shigenobu II in the 1830s. This exquisite work of art depicts a young geisha intently focused on tuning her samisen, a traditional Japanese musical instrument, inside an elegant indoor setting. The geisha wears a stunning kimono adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, adding to the overall beauty of the scene. The print, titled "Hand-Made Flower Arrangement. From Flower Matching Contest, number 4," is a surimono, a type of Japanese print that was produced in limited quantities as a form of artistic expression and luxury item. The print's title suggests that the geisha's flower arrangement is a prize from a flower matching contest, further emphasizing the importance of aesthetics and artistry in Japanese culture during this period. The geisha's attentiveness to the samisen is evident in her posture and expression. She sits in a traditional seating position, with her legs crossed and her back straight. Her hands deftly adjust the strings of the samisen, which rests on a music stand next to her. The print's attention to detail is remarkable, with the delicate folds of the geisha's kimono and the intricate patterns on the tatami mat floor adding to the overall sense of refinement and elegance. The print's background features a window with a view of the outdoors, highlighting the contrast between the indoor and outdoor worlds. The use of calligraphy and blue coloring adds to the overall artistic quality of the piece. This stunning woodblock print by Yanagawa Shigenobu II is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the 19th century and continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and intricacy. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to have this rare and beautiful work of art in its collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the artistry and cultural significance of this piece.
