Original public domain art from the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. As we look upon this artwork, we are transported to a time in 19th century Japan when literature and art were intertwined expressions of culture. It serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of female poets in Japanese history and their contributions to society. 

This illustration is from the album Nishikizuri Onna Sanjurokkasen known in the West by the shortened title 'The 36 Immortal Women Poets', one of the most fascinating Japanese publications of the period and lavishly printed in colour by woodblock.

It was published in 1801 by the Edo publisher Eijudo Nishimuraya Yohachi. Each plate depicts, on the left side, one of the thirty-six women poets active during the Heian (794-1185) and Kamakura (1185-1333) periods and, on the right side, one of their poems.

Their poems were an important element of classical culture from the 9th to the 12th century. The essence of their poetry related to court life and its refinement was imitated, in various artistic forms, in later centuries.

CLICK FOR TIPS

When buying artworks figure out what you like. If you're just buying something you love, it's not difficult to make a decision!

If you hang an artwork at home and it doesn’t feel right, move it. Try putting it in different places, and see if it strikes an interesting dialogue with other works on your wall. Smaller artworks often work well near light switches, or hung low over a small piece of furniture like a bedside table.

Grouping works together can be really effective. Test out a group of frames by arranging them on the floor or a table top. If you’re feeling pro, use masking tape to mark out your very own tightly packed grouping!
