EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Konami of Kurahashi-ya" was created by the talented artist Yanagawa Shigenobu around 1825. The artwork belongs to the ukiyo-e genre, which flourished during Japan's Edo period. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this exquisite piece showcases Shigenobu's mastery in capturing the beauty and grace of women. In this full-length portrait, Konami stands elegantly with a hand-held fan delicately held in her hands. Her hair is intricately styled and adorned with decorative accessories that reflect the fashion trends of that era. The artist skillfully employs ink and vibrant colors on paper to bring out every intricate detail, making Konami come alive. The print not only serves as a visual delight but also offers valuable insights into Japanese heritage art from the nineteenth century. It transports viewers back in time to experience the refined aesthetics and cultural nuances prevalent during this period. Yanagawa Shigenobu's work continues to be celebrated for its contribution to Japanese woodblock printing techniques. Through his artistic prowess, he immortalizes Konami's timeless beauty while paying homage to traditional Japanese customs and values. As we admire this remarkable creation at The Met, let us appreciate how it encapsulates both historical significance and artistic brilliance within its delicate brushstrokes—a testament to Yanagawa Shigenobu's enduring legacy as an esteemed master of ukiyo-e prints.
