EDITORS COMMENTS
This polychrome woodblock print, titled "Lady Arranging Binsashi (Support for the Hair over the Temples) to put in Her Hair" transports us back to the Edo period in 19th century Japan. Created by renowned artist Torii Kiyomine, this exquisite piece showcases his mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular art form during that time. In this artwork, we witness a graceful Japanese woman meticulously arranging her long hair with the help of binsashi – an ornate hair decoration worn over temples. The lady sits at a dressing table adorned with traditional furniture and carefully tends to her appearance. A hibachi heater can be seen nearby, providing warmth during colder days. Kiyomine's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully employs ink and color on paper to bring life to every element within the composition. From the intricate patterns on the binsashi and clothing to the delicate features of the lady herself, each stroke contributes to an overall sense of elegance and beauty. As we admire this heritage art piece preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported into a world where women took great care in their grooming rituals. This snapshot from centuries past serves as a reminder of Japan's rich cultural history and its enduring artistic legacy.
