More about this artwork
This image is a woodblock print from Japanese artist Toyohara Kunichika, titled "Kogiku In Saruwaka-Cho." It features a beautifully detailed portrait of a woman, likely a geisha or actor, depicted with traditional Japanese elegance and style.The woman is shown holding two rectangular cards, which might be tickets or perhaps small artworks or photos, as suggested by the images on them. Her attire is exquisitely detailed, with a purple robe adorned with patterned bands and floral designs, emphasizing her status and the careful attention to textile artistry in Japanese culture.Her hair is styled elaborately with multiple ornate hairpins and a black headdress, reflecting typical sophisticated hairstyles of traditional Japanese actors or upscale geishas. The use of vivid colors and intricate patterns in her clothing contrasts sharply with her pale skin, accentuating her facial features and expression, which is poised and contemplative.In the background, there's a collage of different elements that add depth and cultural context.
