      Hishikawa Moronobu (1618 – 1694)

      ¡Descubre a Hishikawa Moronobu, pionero del ukiyo-e! Explora sus icónicas escenas de la vida en Edo, bellas mujeres y relatos samuráis, que dieron forma a la edad de oro del arte japonés.

      In a pose often utilized by Hishikawa Moronobu and his successors, a courtesan walks with bent knees and tiny steps, perhaps making her way along an avenue of the Yoshiwara quarters, the gated pleasure district outside of Edo (present-day Tokyo). She wears a gorgeous outer robe with seashell motifs; the shells are painted with scenes and designs, a reference to the shell-matching game that had its origins in courtly circles. Like many artists of Ukiyo-e, a genre of paintings and prints that often focused on the demimonde, Moronobu painstakingly reproduced aspects of female fashion and the latest in stylish textile patterns. He himself came from a family of textile designers, and brought this expertise to bear in his work.
