EDITORS COMMENTS
Under Umbrellas in a Shower" is a captivating woodblock print from the series "A Brocade of Eastern Manners" (Fuzoku Azuma no nishiki) created by the renowned Japanese artist Torii Kiyonaga around 1783-84. This stunning artwork depicts three elegantly dressed women huddled under colorful umbrellas during a rain shower. The scene takes place in a serene, outdoor setting, with the women standing near a carriage, their elaborate kimonos and accessories providing a vivid contrast against the monochromatic backdrop of the rain. The women wear various types of footwear, including geta (wooden sandals) and oban (carriage boots), adding to the intricacy of their attire. The print showcases the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period, focusing on the everyday life and culture of the common people. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print are a testament to the skill and craftsmanship of Torii Kiyonaga and the Torii School. The women's parasols, in black and green, shield them from the rain while their parasols, adorned with intricate designs, add a touch of elegance to the scene. The print also features a variety of accessories, such as a fan, a purse, and a fan-shaped parasol, which were essential elements of traditional Japanese dress. The print is a valuable heritage piece, showcasing the rich history and cultural significance of Japanese art and fashion during the eighteenth century. It is a must-see for anyone interested in the arts of Asia, particularly those with a focus on clothing, accessories, and portraiture. This beautiful work of art is a testament to the enduring allure and beauty of Japanese culture.
