EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Good Start Learning Nyngakuyoshi" captures a serene moment in Japan during the early 19th century. In the image, a lady is engrossed in reading a book while seated on a standard. The print belongs to a series created for the Hanazono Poetry Association called "Hanazono Bantsuzuki" which focuses on the significance of the first activities of the new year. The prints from this series reflect the belief that these initial actions held extra special meaning. A notable feature is the red cartouche seen on each print, reminiscent of almanacs used during that time. These almanacs indicated which activities were suitable or unsuitable for individuals born in specific years. Created by Totoya Hokkei, an esteemed artist mentioned on the object itself, this color woodcut showcases his mastery and attention to detail. Measuring approximately 202 mm in height and 179 mm in width, it exemplifies Hokkei's skillful technique. This particular print provides us with a glimpse into Japanese culture and traditions from nearly two centuries ago. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact, reminding us of how different societies celebrated important milestones such as New Year's Day.
