EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century woodblock print by Torii Kiyomitsu transports us to a vibrant New Year's celebration in Japan. The scene unfolds before a magnificent standing screen adorned with the majestic figure of a tiger, symbolizing strength and power. A group of talented entertainers, both male and female, captivate the audience with their musical prowess. Dressed in traditional garments, they exude elegance and grace as they play an array of instruments. The drummer takes center stage, his rhythmic beats filling the air with energy and excitement. His fellow musicians skillfully accompany him on various stringed instruments, creating a harmonious melody that resonates throughout the room. The atmosphere is alive with anticipation as people gather around to witness this enchanting performance. Kiyomitsu's mastery shines through in every detail of this color woodblock print. From the intricate patterns on the performers' clothing to the delicate expressions on their faces, he captures not only their physical appearance but also their inner spirit. As we gaze upon this piece of art at the Art Institute Chicago, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It serves as a reminder that music has always been an integral part of celebrations across different cultures and eras. Through this exquisite artwork, Kiyomitsu invites us to immerse ourselves in Japanese tradition and appreciate its artistic legacy.
