EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Woman Exhaling Smoke from a Pipe," is a striking image from Kitagawa Utamaro's renowned series "Ten Classes of Women's Physiognomy" created in Japan around 1792/93. The series, also known as "Fujo ninso juppon," was a groundbreaking exploration of the unique characteristics and personalities of women during the Edo and Tokugawa periods. In this particular print, a young woman is depicted in an elegant pose, sitting on a mat with her legs crossed, and wearing a beautiful kimono adorned with intricate patterns in shades of green and red. She is holding a long tobacco pipe in her hand, taking a deep inhale, and exhaling a plume of smoke that gracefully rises above her head. The use of color and the delicate details in her clothing, as well as the subtle expressions on her face, reveal her calm and composed demeanor. Utamaro's masterful technique in woodblock printing is evident in the intricacy of the design and the bold, yet delicate lines. The oban-sized print, with its rich colors and dynamic composition, is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished during the 18th century in Japan. This work of art is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and a reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan during this period.
