EDITORS COMMENTS
Torii Kiyonaga's 'The New Year's Festival' (Kodakara gosetsu asobi: Shogatsu no hi) is a captivating woodblock print from the series 'Precious Children's Games of the Five Festivals,' created in Japan around 1801. This exquisite work of art showcases a lively scene of children celebrating the New Year. The image is dominated by a group of boys and girls, dressed in traditional eighteenth-century Japanese clothing, seated on the floor. The boys wear colorful kimonos with wide sleeves and sashes, while the girls don elegant kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and accessories. The children are engrossed in various activities, reflecting the joyous spirit of the New Year's Eve celebration. One boy is speaking to another, while a third boy is intently watching a kite soaring in the sky. A girl is holding a toy, while another is admiring a rose in her hand. The scene is filled with vibrant colors, with the boys wearing green and pink clothing, and the girls dressed in pink and rose-colored kimonos. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Torii Kiyonaga and the Sekiguchi Shinsuke workshop. Kiyonaga's mastery of the oban format is evident in the meticulous details and the balance of the composition. The print is a precious heritage art piece, showcasing the traditional dress and customs of Japan during the eighteenth century. It is a beautiful reminder of the joy and innocence of childhood and the traditions that bring communities together to celebrate the New Year.
