Artist: Chikanobu Yoshu (1838-1912) 楊洲周延
Title: Cleaning Day (御煤掃)
Series: The Inner Palace of Chiyoda 千代田の大奥
Publisher: Fukuda Hatsujiro
Date: 1895
Size: (R)23.6 x 35.3, (C)25.0 x 35.4, (L)23.5 x 35.4 cm
Condition report: Slightly trimmed. Crease marks along the edges. Light soiling and minor spots.

In triptychs depicting Court Ladies, Chikanobu focuses on the day to day activities of the women who resided in the secluded palace. As a ‘beauty’ series, the focus is on the women and their clothes, with detailed patterned kimonos being a prominent feature of many of the prints. The ladies of the palace are depicted in a wide range of situations and activities, from writing poetry, to watching the cherry blossom, even to combat training, as it was required for the ladies of a castle to be able to defend their home as a last resort.

Court ladies are depicted in a ritualistic deep cleaning event, osouji, marking the end of the year and welcoming in the new. The cleaning serves not only to remove dirt from a household, but is believed to act as a type of spiritual purification.

While two women in the forefront demonstrate their beautiful kimono, ladies in the background have their sleeves tied back with a special cloth or cord called tasuki that loops over each shoulder and crosses over the back. Humorously, the group of ladies on the left try to get rid of the samurai warrior who interrupts their cleaning.

Die Brexit! Verzendkosten 40euro, dus dat zal wel over douanekosten gaan, Daarom zeer teleurgesteld dat bij DHL nog 27,45 douane moest worden afgerekend. Ik zal dat bedrag aan JG auction terugvragen
