Painting Description
"Fukurokuju and Beauty" is a notable Japanese woodblock print created by Isoda Koryusai, an ukiyo-e artist active during the Edo period. Koryusai, 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 Koryusai's oeuvre that often combined depictions of women with elements of Japanese folklore and mythology.
The print features Fukurokuju, one of the Seven Lucky Gods in Japanese mythology, known for his wisdom, longevity, and the happiness he brings. He is easily recognizable by his high forehead and is often accompanied by a crane or a turtle, traditional symbols of longevity in Japan. In "Fukurokuju and Beauty," Koryusai portrays the god alongside a beautiful woman, which is a common artistic juxtaposition in ukiyo-e that reflects the auspicious association between the deities and the joy and beauty of everyday life.
"Fukurokuju and Beauty" exemplifies Koryusai's skillful use of line and color, as well as his ability to blend the ethereal with the mundane. His work is characterized by a refined elegance and attention to detail, which is evident in the intricate patterns of the clothing and the expressive features of the figures.
As a piece of the ukiyo-e tradition, "Fukurokuju and Beauty" not only serves as an aesthetic representation but also provides insight into the cultural and religious beliefs of the Edo period. The print is a testament to the period's commercial and artistic vibrancy, where such works were widely circulated among the chonin, or townspeople, and contributed to the burgeoning popular culture of the time.
Koryusai's contributions to the ukiyo-e genre, including "Fukurokuju and Beauty," have been recognized for their artistic merit and historical significance. His prints are held in various collections around the world and continue to be studied for their impact on the development of Japanese art.
