EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, titled "Lady 'bijin' reading paper on a bridge" we are transported back to the early 19th century in Japan. The artist, Kuniyasu Ipposai, beautifully captures a serene moment amidst nature and tradition. A graceful lady stands on a wooden bridge, her traditional costume flowing elegantly around her. She is engrossed in reading a newspaper, showcasing her intellect and curiosity for the world beyond. The vibrant colors of the woodcut add depth to the scene, with delicate irises blooming nearby. The composition exudes tranquility as we see the lady surrounded by a water garden filled with hachures – fine lines that create texture and movement. It's almost as if time has paused just for her; she becomes one with nature and literature. This artwork offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture during this period, where women were admired for their beauty and intelligence. The meticulous attention to detail showcases Kuniyasu's skill as an artist. Displayed at the Art Gallery and Museum in Kelvingrove, Glasgow, Scotland, this print continues to captivate viewers from all walks of life. Its timeless appeal reminds us of our shared humanity across different cultures and eras. Enzo Di Cosmo's interpretation of this masterpiece brings forth its essence through his words - inviting us to appreciate not only its aesthetic qualities but also its historical significance.
