EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Sashiye (name of a place in Edo), ca. 1782" is a true masterpiece created by the renowned artist Torii Kiyonaga during the Edo period in Japan. This particular artwork is the right-hand sheet of a diptych and showcases the exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail that Kiyonaga was known for. The scene depicted in this print offers us a glimpse into domestic life during the eighteenth century in Japan. A group of elegantly dressed men and women are gathered around, engaging in various activities that reflect their cultural heritage. The vibrant colors used by Kiyonaga bring life to each character, making them appear almost lifelike. Intriguingly, we see both men and women enjoying tea from delicate teapots while holding hand-held fans to cool themselves on what seems like a warm day. The composition exudes an air of tranquility as these individuals immerse themselves in conversation and leisurely pursuits. Kiyonaga's mastery lies not only in his ability to capture human figures with precision but also his skillful use of ink and color on paper. Each stroke contributes to the overall harmony of the piece, creating an atmosphere that transports viewers back to this historical era. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this woodblock print serves as a testament to Kiyonaga's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists. It invites us into
