      Ariwara no Yukihira with Salt Maidens

      isoda koryūsai 磯田湖龍斎 (1735 – 1790)

      Explore the ukiyo-e prints of Isoda Koryūsai (1735-1790). Known for beautiful women (bijin-ga), landscapes, and scenes from daily life in Edo Japan. A prolific artist with a unique style influenced by Harunobu.

      The central figure in this triptych is the ninth-century courtier Ariwara no Yukihira (818–893), who was a prominent poet in the Heian period (794–1185). Though an aristocrat of the highest standing, he was briefly exiled from the palace to the seaside village of Suma. His exile became a celebrated legend that was immortalized in the Nō drama Matsukaze. The Matsukaze story tells of the undying passion of the two sisters, Matsukaze (Wind in the Pines) and Murasame (Autumn Showers), who made their living in Suma by boiling salt from seawater. The two “Salt Maidens” became enamored of the exiled poet. When pardoned by the court, Yukihira returned to the capital, leaving his cap and gown with the maidens as mementos, along with a firm promise to send for them in the near future.In this triptych, Yukihira wears the robes of a Heian period courtier, while the maidens appear in contemporary dress with straw aprons to protect them from water splashing from the buckets of brine they transport. Koryūsai’s aesthetic decision to paint this composition as a monochromatic image with gold highlights, a technique known as benigirai (“avoiding red”), was a trend of the day in ukiyo-e painting that was later popularized in prints and paintings.
