Painting Description
"Beauty with a Trained Monkey on a Leash" is a notable Japanese ukiyo-e woodblock print created by Isoda Koryūsai, an artist active during the Edo period. Koryūsai, originally a samurai, became one of the leading print designers of his time, particularly known for his bijinga (pictures of beautiful women) and shunga (erotic prints). This work is part of Koryūsai's oeuvre that focuses on the genre of bijinga, depicting an elegant woman in traditional attire accompanied by a monkey on a leash, which is a less common subject in his body of work.
The print is characterized by its delicate lines and subtle use of color, hallmarks of Koryūsai's style. The beauty is typically shown in a moment of leisure or daily life, which reflects the ukiyo-e genre's preoccupation with the "floating world" of fleeting pleasures and contemporary urban culture of Edo (modern-day Tokyo). The inclusion of the trained monkey adds an element of curiosity and entertainment, suggesting a narrative or a glimpse into the pastimes of the period.
As with many ukiyo-e prints, "Beauty with a Trained Monkey on a Leash" would have been produced through a collaborative process involving the artist, who designed the print; the carver, who cut the woodblocks; the printer, who applied ink to the blocks and pressed them onto paper; and the publisher, who financed the production and distributed the prints. This artwork contributes to the understanding of Japanese art history and the role of woodblock prints in the cultural landscape of the Edo period.
The print is significant not only for its artistic merit but also for its cultural implications, offering insights into the fashion, aesthetics, and social activities of the time. It remains an important piece for scholars studying Isoda Koryūsai's work and the broader context of ukiyo-e prints in Japanese art history.
