EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "The Sixth Month (Roku gatsu), from the series 'Fashionable Twelve Months (Furyu)'", transports viewers to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by Utagawa Toyokuni I, a renowned artist of that era, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of traditional Japanese customs and nature. In this scene, we see a graceful female figure kneeling on a tatami mat while holding a hand-held fan. Her posture reflects the customary habit of elegant comportment during that time. Surrounding her is an enchanting display of fireflies illuminating the night sky like tiny stars. The delicate insects dance around potted plants, adding an element of mystique to the composition. Toyokuni's masterful use of color and detail brings this woodblock print to life. The vibrant hues evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony with nature, showcasing his skill in capturing both human subjects and natural elements. "The Sixth Month" is part of a larger series called "Fashionable Twelve Months" which depicts scenes representing each month throughout the year. This particular piece represents June or Roku gatsu in Japanese culture. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Arts of Asia gallery, this artwork serves as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage and its deep connection with seasonal traditions. It offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate not only Utagawa Toyokuni I's talent but also gain insight into Japanese aesthetics and cultural practices during the Tokug
