EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening Glow at Seta (Seta Sekisho)," a captivating woodblock print from the series "Fashionable Eight Views of Omi (Furyu Omi Hakkei)" created by the renowned Japanese artist Kikukawa Eizan around 1814/17, offers a glimpse into the domestic life of the Edo period. This stunning work of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the picturesque landscape of Seta Sekisho, a historic castle town located in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Japan. The print's serene atmosphere is accentuated by the warm, beige and brown hues of the evening sky, which casts a gentle glow over the landscape. The intricately patterned kimonos worn by the mother and her children add vibrant pops of color to the otherwise muted palette. The mother, dressed in an elegant kimono with a striking obi sash, tenderly cares for her children, evoking a sense of nurturing and motherhood. The attention to detail in the print is evident in the delicate calligraphy, the intricate patterns on the clothing, and the meticulously rendered textures of the fabric. The oban-size print, with its large format, allows for a closer examination of the intricacies of the design. The "Fashionable Eight Views of Omi" series, which includes this print, was a popular artistic school during the Edo period, showcasing the beauty and fashion of the time. This print, in particular, offers a unique perspective into the daily life and domestic scenes of the era. Overall, "Evening Glow at Seta (Seta Sekisho)" is a testament to the artistic prowess of Kikukawa Eizan and the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period.
