窪俊満「桜下喫煙」アダチ版復刻浮世絵

Woman Smoking under Cherry Blossoms

This work employs the beni-girai method, known for its use of a limited color palette such as shades of black and purple. It depicts a serene outdoor scene of two women enjoying smoking under the cherry blossoms. Rendered in the graceful Kiyonaga style, the women are portrayed in full-body portraits exuding charm and elegance. The strategic addition of pink cherry blossoms and a fresh green hue to the mostly black-and-white world accentuates the vibrancy of spring.

Kubo Shunman (1757-1820) apprenticed under Kitao Shigemasa and excelled in painting full-body portraits of beautiful women in the Kiyonaga style. He became renowned for his masterpieces featuring a manner known as "beni-girai" meaning "red-hating." In beni-girai, images are expressed using a limited color palette, typically shades of sumi ink and purple, rather than the vibrant colors typical of traditional ukiyo-e. Shunman's mastery of beni-girai added a unique charm to his artworks, distinguishing him as one of the foremost artists of his time.
