EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut diptych by Kubo Shumman, created in 1786, transports us to the vibrant world of Edo (now Tokyo), Japan. In this bustling scene along the Sumida River in the Nakazu district, we witness Japanese geishas gracefully serving and entertaining a group of men at the renowned Shikian restaurant. The atmosphere is filled with merriment as one couple on the right engages in a lively hand game called trap the fox. Their animated expressions reveal their excitement and enjoyment. Meanwhile, geishas skillfully play traditional instruments like shamisen, creating an enchanting melody that floats through the air. Seated outdoors on a terrace overlooking the river, guests savor delicious seafood delicacies served on elegant tables adorned with lanterns and paper decorations. The tranquil waters reflect shimmering lights from nearby boats, adding to the picturesque ambiance. Amidst this leisurely setting, couples can be seen holding hands and engaging in pleasant conversation. The geishas' impeccable attire showcases intricate kimono designs while their hair is beautifully styled with ornate accessories. Kubo Shumman's meticulous woodcut technique captures every detail of this remarkable moment during Japan's Edo period. This print not only offers a glimpse into historical entertainment practices but also celebrates Japanese culture and its rich traditions.
