Righteousness (Gi), from the series 'Five Cardinal Virtues', 1767 - A Captivating Glimpse into Edo Period Japan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This stunning woodblock print, created by Suzuki Harunobu in 1767, transports us to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. Titled "Righteousness (Gi)", it is part of his renowned series "Five Cardinal Virtues". The artwork showcases a young woman dressed in a traditional kimono, exuding elegance and grace. The intricate details and vivid colors bring life to this portrait. The woman's pink kimono beautifully contrasts with the red backdrop, while touches of yellow and rose add depth and warmth to the scene. Her kneeling posture reflects humility and respect, embodying the virtue of righteousness. Harunobu's mastery of block printing is evident in every brushstroke. The delicate lines and precise carving techniques create a sense of movement within the composition. This particular piece captures a moment frozen in time - an intimate glimpse into Japanese culture during this era. As we admire this artwork at the Art Institute Chicago, we are reminded of its historical significance as well as its artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to Suzuki Harunobu's contribution to ukiyo-e, a genre that flourished during the Tokugawa period. "Righteousness (Gi)" invites us to contemplate not only beauty but also moral values through art. It reminds us that virtues such as righteousness transcend time and place
