Ukiyo-e 04, KU-5, Handbag - Utamaro, Twin Rocks and the Rising Sun
Ukiyo-e Bag - Twin Rocks and the Rising Sun.
Ukiyo-e (Japanese, meaning "Pictures of the Floating World"). It represents Japanese art of 17-19 centuries.
「二見ヶ浦」
This beautiful Ukiyo-e landscape painting depicts the scene located in the Ise-Shima National Park (伊勢志摩国立公園), Mie Prefecture (三重県) , central Honshu (本州).
In the bay there are two rocks sitting side-by-side, known as Meoto Iwa (Japanese: 夫婦岩; the Wedded Rocks or the Married Couple Rocks).
The two rocks are tied together by shimenawa rope, which is made of entwined and twisted rice straw. Shimenawa is a "ceremony rope" used to mark sacred or purified areas; you can often see it on the gates of the shrine.
Meoto Iwa (the Wedded Rocks) has been a place of "sunrise worship" since old times. From May to July, the sunrise can be seen between the two rocks of Meoto Iwa (夫婦岩; the Married Couple Rocks). On days of good weather, particularly before and after the summer solstice, you can see the sunrise with distant Mt. Fuji in the background.
On this painting we see several cheerful young ladies stepping on small waves. Some of them are looking for something interesting in the sea, and some are chatting happily. We can also see some young ladies are barefoot and some are wearing traditional Japanese sandals. These women played there very early in the morning, they seem to have lots of fun and enjoyed it. Utamaro (喜多川 歌麿) carefully depicted it in his painting.
