EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Women Preparing Sashimi Edo period 1615-1868" transports us back to the vibrant and bustling streets of Japan during the Edo period. Created by the renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro in 1806-1820, this masterpiece showcases his mastery in capturing everyday scenes with a touch of elegance. In this artwork, Utamaro expands the scope of bijin ga (beautiful women) genre by removing traditional idealizing constraints. He places these beautiful women in the context of ordinary life, exploring themes beyond their physical appearance. Here, we witness a group of women skillfully preparing sashimi in a lively kitchen setting. Utamaro's attention to detail is evident as he portrays each woman engrossed in her task - slicing fresh fish with precision and arranging it delicately on plates. The composition exudes harmony and camaraderie among these skilled artisans as they work together seamlessly. By broadening his subject matter to include daily activities like cooking, Utamaro offers viewers an intimate glimpse into Japanese culture at that time. This print not only celebrates the artistry involved in food preparation but also highlights the importance of communal efforts within households. The Artokoloro reproduction allows us to appreciate every intricate brushstroke and vivid color choice made by Utamaro. It serves as a testament to his genius as one of Japan's most influential artists during the Edo period.
