Triptych of Cooling off in the Evening at Shijo Riverbank, 1784
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports viewers to the vibrant world of Edo-period Japan. Created by Kiyonaga Torii, a renowned ukiyo-e artist, this triptych offers a glimpse into the leisurely activities enjoyed by people along the picturesque riverbank. The scene unfolds with meticulous detail and exquisite colors, showcasing Kiyonaga's mastery in capturing everyday life. The composition is divided into three panels, each revealing different aspects of this idyllic setting. In one panel, we witness elegantly dressed women strolling gracefully under colorful parasols, their delicate kimonos fluttering in the evening breeze. Another panel depicts men engaged in lively conversation while indulging in refreshing drinks amidst lush greenery. Kiyonaga's attention to atmospheric perspective adds depth and realism to the artwork. The fading light of dusk casts enchanting shadows on the tranquil waters of Shijo River as boats glide gently across its surface. This serene ambiance invites us to immerse ourselves in this momentary respite from bustling city life. Preserved by Minneapolis Institute of Arts since being bequeathed by Richard P. Gale, this print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty and cultural significance. As we gaze upon it today, we are reminded of Japan's rich artistic heritage and how art can transport us through time and space – allowing us to appreciate moments frozen forever on paper.
