EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite woodblock print, titled "Woman in Scarf and Kimono with Maid Walking in a Wintry Landscape," is a beautiful example of the ukiyo-e tradition from early 20th century Japan. Created by the renowned artist Terasaki Kogyo, this print serves as the frontispiece from a book, published in Tokyo around 1910. The image captures the essence of winter in Japan, with its stark, bare trees and the delicate beauty of snow-covered landscapes. The central focus of the composition is a woman dressed in a traditional kimono, her long sleeves billowing in the wind as she walks with a maid, both wrapped in warm scarves to protect against the chill. The serene expression on their faces and the graceful curves of their bodies convey a sense of tranquility and elegance. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of birds perched on the bare branches, adding a touch of life and movement to the otherwise still winter landscape. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print are a testament to the skill and artistry of Terasaki Kogyo, who masterfully captures the essence of the season and the beauty of the women in this evocative image. This woodblock print is an excellent representation of the bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) genre, a popular subject in ukiyo-e art. The print's intricate details, rich colors, and evocative composition make it a treasured piece of Japanese art history and a must-have for any collector of Asian art or woodblock prints.
