"Yaoya Oshichi and Kosho Kichisaburo, from the Series Jitsu Kurabe Iro no Minakami (True Feelings Compared: The Founts of Love)" is a renowned woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro (c. 1753–1806). This piece is part of a larger series that explores the theme of love and emotion, a common subject in Utamaro's oeuvre, which is distinguished by its focus on the beauty and complexity of women's lives in the Edo period. Utamaro, a master of the ukiyo-e genre, is acclaimed for his portraits of female beauties, and this series is no exception, delving into the nuanced emotional states and interpersonal relationships of its subjects.

The artwork depicts the tragic love story of Yaoya Oshichi, a greengrocer's daughter, and her lover, Kosho Kichisaburo, a young temple page. Their story, which originated in the Edo period, has been retold in various forms of Japanese literature and theater, becoming a staple of Japanese cultural folklore. Oshichi's tale is one of love and desperation, famously leading to her attempted arson as a means to reunite with her beloved during a period of separation caused by a city-wide fire. This act, driven by passion and despair, ultimately led to her tragic fate, making the story a poignant commentary on the societal constraints and expectations placed upon women during the time.

In this print, Utamaro captures the emotional intensity and complexity of Oshichi and Kichisaburo's relationship. His use of line, color, and composition reflects the depth of their feelings, with each element carefully chosen to convey the narrative's underlying themes of love, longing, and tragedy. The series title, "Jitsu Kurabe Iro no Minakami (True Feelings Compared: The Founts of Love)," suggests a comparative exploration of love's many facets, with this particular print highlighting the lengths to which one might go in the name of love.

Utamaro's work is celebrated for its delicate and expressive portrayal of human emotions, and "Yaoya Oshichi and Kosho Kichisaburo" stands as a testament to his mastery of the ukiyo-e form and his deep understanding of the human condition. This print, along with the rest of the series, offers a window into the cultural and societal norms of the Edo period, while also providing timeless insights into the nature of love and sacrifice.
