EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning colour woodcut titled "Courtesan holding a sake cup" by the renowned artist Utamaro, Kitagawa. Created between 1790 and 1806, this artwork measures 38.1x25.4 cm and is housed in the Art Gallery and Museum of Kelvingrove in Glasgow, Scotland. The courtesan depicted in the woodcut delicately holds a sake cup, exuding elegance and grace. Utamaro's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the intricate folds of her traditional costume with precision. Published by Yamaguchi-ya Chusuke during the late 18th century or early 19th century, this piece belongs to the ukiyo-e school of art that flourished during Japan's Edo period. The artist skillfully portrays not only the beauty of his subject but also provides insight into Japanese culture at that time. The image transports viewers back to a world where alcohol played an important role in social gatherings and celebrations. Sake, a traditional Japanese rice wine known for its smooth taste, symbolizes both indulgence and refinement. Enzo Di Cosmo's expertly captured print allows us to appreciate this masterpiece from afar while preserving its essence for generations to come. It serves as a reminder of how art can transcend time and space, connecting us with different cultures and eras through visual storytelling.
