EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Benzaiten Shrine at Shinobugaoka" transports viewers to 19th century Japan, specifically the Edo period. Created by Kikukawa Eizan as part of his series "Fashionable Eight Views of the Eastern Capital" this artwork showcases the artist's mastery in color woodblock printing. The image depicts a serene scene at Benzaiten Shrine, located in Shinobugaoka. The shrine stands proudly amidst lush greenery, exuding a sense of tranquility and spirituality. A young boy is seated on the ground, accompanied by his mother who sits beside him. Their traditional attire reflects the fashion trends of that era, with vibrant kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and accessories like hair ornaments known as kanzashi. Eizan skillfully captures not only their physical appearance but also their emotional connection through his artistry. The warm beige tones used in this print add depth and evoke a feeling of nostalgia for an ancient time gone by. This artwork serves as a window into Japanese culture and heritage, showcasing both religious practices (as seen through the presence of Benzaiten Shrine) and everyday life during that period. It reminds us of the importance placed on family bonds and highlights the role of mothers in childcare. Displayed at an art gallery or institute such as Art Institute Chicago, this piece invites viewers to appreciate its beauty while immersing themselves in Japan's rich artistic traditions from centuries ago.
