EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Mitate gosho-guruma" or "Parody of an imperial carriage scene" by Kitagawa Utamaro takes us back to the vibrant world of 18th century Japan. Created in 1798 during the Edo period, this ukiyo-e woodblock print showcases the mastery and passion of Japanese artist Utamaro. The artwork features a group of beautiful women elegantly dressed in traditional kimonos, their delicate features and graceful postures capturing our attention. The bijin ga or portraits of these women were highly popular during that time, symbolizing both beauty and femininity. Utamaro's skillful use of color prints adds depth and richness to the composition, enhancing every intricate detail with vivid hues. The scene itself is a playful parody of an imperial carriage procession, showcasing the artist's wit and creativity. As we gaze at this masterwork from the Liszt Collection, we are transported into a world where art intertwines with everyday life. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, these woodblock prints continue to captivate viewers with their timeless beauty. This piece exemplifies why Japanese painting and woodblock prints have become renowned worldwide for their unique style and ability to evoke emotion. Utamaro's "Mitate gosho-guruma" stands as a testament to his artistic genius and continues to inspire generations with its exquisite portrayal of Japanese culture during the Edo period.
