Notes |
Clark 1992 A courtesan is seated with one knee raised, wearing a white kimono decorated with large tie-dyed stars in red and white, intertwined with leaf tendrils in black. Her hair is parted in the middle and then dressed at the back in a form of the 'Shimada' style in which the long tresses are bent back towards the rear of the head and tied in place using paper tapes. This fashion did not become widespread among women until the 1680s, after which it remained the dominant style (with many variations) for the rest of the Edo period. Thus, although this work shows many stylistic features generally associated with paintings of beauties of the Kambun era (1661-73; see no. 3) - the single figure isolated against a plain background and set back from the picture plane; the cool, somewhat impassive expression; the extensive use of tie-dyed dots in the costume - the hairstyle may imply a somewhat later date of execution. This would indicate that an archaic 'Kambun beauty' style lingered on in the work of certain artists even after Moronobu's revolutionary manner of painting women had taken Edo by storm (nos 6-9). |
