EDITORS COMMENTS
Beauty Wearing a Summer Kimono" is a captivating work of art from the series "New Patterns of Brocade Woven in Utamaro Style" by the renowned Japanese artist, Kitagawa Utamaro. Created during the late Edo period, around 1796-1798, this stunning oban-size color woodblock print showcases the beauty and elegance of traditional Japanese clothing and design. The image features a solitary woman, dressed in a summer kimono adorned with intricate floral patterns. The kimono's vibrant colors and bold design are brought to life through the meticulous block printing technique, which highlights the rich textures and details of the fabric. The beauty in the print is depicted with her head turned away, gazing off into the distance, holding a handheld fan. The use of calligraphy in the background adds an element of sophistication and completes the scene. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo period and focused on depicting the beauty of the floating world, or the transient pleasures of life. The woman's traditional Japanese attire, along with the seasonal motif of summer, further emphasizes the cultural significance of this work. This beautiful piece of heritage art is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. The intricate patterns, stunning colors, and timeless beauty of "Beauty Wearing a Summer Kimono" make it a must-see for anyone interested in the arts of Asia, and a valuable addition to any collection.
