EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a serene moment in the lives of three girls on the veranda of a tea-house overlooking Edo Bay at Shinagawa. Created by renowned artist Torii Kiyonaga, this woodblock print beautifully portrays the essence of outdoor leisure and female friendship during 18th-century Japan. Dressed in traditional kimonos, these women exude elegance and grace as they enjoy each other's company amidst the scenic beauty surrounding them. The intricate details of their attire showcase the rich cultural heritage that permeated every aspect of Japanese life during this time. The veranda provides an ideal vantage point for these ladies to appreciate the breathtaking view before them. With Tokyo Bay stretching out into the distance, they are transported to a world where nature meets civilization, offering a sense of tranquility and escape from everyday life. Published in The Connoisseur Volume LXXXVII edited by C. Reginald Grundy in 1931, this woodcut print has stood the test of time as an exquisite representation of Japanese artistry. Its inclusion in such a prestigious magazine speaks volumes about its significance within artistic circles. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic appeal but also its historical value. It serves as a window into both 18th-century Japan and early 20th-century London when it was first introduced to Western audiences through publications like The Connoisseur. Let us cherish this portrait as a testament to enduring friendships, timeless beauty
