EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the Edo period in Japan, specifically from Nishikawa Sukenobu's "Ehon Tokiwa-Gusa" collection. The image showcases three elegant women accompanied by a male servant, providing us with a glimpse into the social dynamics of that time. The women are dressed in traditional kimonos adorned with intricate patterns, reflecting the fashion trends of the era. The composition highlights the full-length figures of each character, emphasizing their individuality and unique roles within society. The women exude grace and poise as they stand barefoot on what appears to be a country road or path. Meanwhile, the male servant stands nearby wearing a hat and displaying his hairy legs - an interesting contrast to the refined appearance of his female counterparts. Nishikawa Sukenobu's woodblock print beautifully captures not only the physical attributes but also conveys subtle details about occupation and hierarchy during this period. This monochrome artwork is part of Louise Norton Brown's book "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" published by George Routledge & Sons Ltd. , E. P. Dutton & Co. , London, and New York in 1924. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a reminder of Japan's rich artistic heritage and provides valuable insights into its cultural traditions centuries ago.
