Soriko, from an untitled series of No plays 1823

"Soriko" is a woodblock print by Takashima Chiharu, dating back to 1823. The print depicts a female figure in traditional Japanese clothing, likely a character from a Noh play, a form of Japanese classical musical drama. The artist's skillful use of color and detail, with delicate floral patterns and a flowing green robe, creates a sense of grace and elegance. This print is a fascinating glimpse into the world of Japanese theater and the artistry of the Edo period. The Art Institute of Chicago houses the print, measuring 22.6 × 19.9 cm.
