"Looking Smoky. A Housewife of the Kyowa Era Kemuso Kyowa nenkan naishitsu no fuzoku, 1880" is a woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Tsukioka Yoshitoshi. Yoshitoshi, a master of the ukiyo-e genre, is celebrated for his innovative approach to traditional Japanese woodblock printing and his ability to capture the complexities of human emotion and historical narratives. This particular work is part of his broader oeuvre that often delves into the lives and experiences of women, warriors, and supernatural beings.

The print depicts a housewife from the Kyowa era (1801-1804), a period within the Edo era of Japan, characterized by its distinct cultural and social norms. The title "Looking Smoky" suggests an intimate, perhaps contemplative moment, capturing the essence of daily life and the subtleties of domestic existence during this time. Yoshitoshi's attention to detail and his skillful use of color and composition bring a sense of realism and depth to the scene, making it a poignant representation of the era's domestic life.

Yoshitoshi's work is often noted for its dramatic and expressive qualities, and "Looking Smoky" is no exception. The print reflects his mature style, which combines traditional ukiyo-e techniques with a more modern, psychological approach to subject matter. This blend of old and new is a hallmark of Yoshitoshi's later works, which have earned him a lasting place in the history of Japanese art.

The historical context of the Kyowa era adds another layer of significance to the print. This period was marked by relative peace and stability under the Tokugawa shogunate, allowing for the flourishing of arts and culture. The depiction of a housewife in this era not only provides insight into the daily lives of women but also serves as a window into the broader societal norms and values of the time.

"Looking Smoky. A Housewife of the Kyowa Era Kemuso Kyowa nenkan naishitsu no fuzoku, 1880" stands as a testament to Tsukioka Yoshitoshi's artistic genius and his ability to capture the essence of Japanese life and culture through his evocative and meticulously crafted woodblock prints.
