EDITORS COMMENTS
A Girl and Four Servants, from the series 'A Brocade of Eastern Manners (Fuzoku Azuma no nishiki)', c. 1783/84 by Torii Kiyonaga captures a mesmerizing scene from Japan's Edo period. This exquisite woodblock print showcases the intricate details of traditional clothing and accessories worn by women during this era. In this artwork, a young girl is depicted surrounded by four devoted servants who attend to her every need. The vibrant colors used in the print bring life to their elegant kimonos, beautifully adorned with delicate patterns and rich hues. The girl holds a hand-held fan while wearing an elaborate hat that adds grace to her youthful appearance. The parasols held by two of the servants not only provide shade but also serve as symbols of status and protection against the sun's rays. Each servant is dressed impeccably, showcasing their dedication to their profession and highlighting the social hierarchy prevalent during that time. Torii Kiyonaga's mastery in ukiyo-e art shines through in his attention to detail and composition. The viewer is transported back in time, witnessing a moment frozen forever on paper. This woodblock print offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture during the Tokugawa period, where tradition met opulence seamlessly. It serves as a testament to Kiyonaga's skill as an artist and provides valuable insight into society at that time.
