Three Young Dreamers, c. 1760 - A Captivating Glimpse into Edo Period Imagination
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this enchanting woodblock print by Torii Kiyohiro, titled "Three Young Dreamers" we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. This uncut hosoban triptych benizuri e offers a captivating glimpse into the dreams and fantasies of three young children during the Tokugawa period. Set against a backdrop of an estuary, these imaginative youngsters find solace in their daydreams as they sleep peacefully. The intricate details and vivid colors bring life to every element within the composition - from the flowing river to the lush foliage surrounding them. The central figure, a young boy engrossed in his book, symbolizes literacy and education during this era. Beside him sits another boy tending to a brazier or hibachi for warmth while he sleeps. Meanwhile, perched on a branch above them is a mischievous monkey, adding an element of playfulness to this dreamlike scene. Notably, Kiyohiro's skillful portrayal of these dreamers highlights both gender equality and diversity among children at that time. A girl with her mouth slightly open lies beside her male counterparts - emphasizing unity in imagination regardless of gender. Through this mesmerizing artwork, Kiyohiro invites us into a realm where reality intertwines seamlessly with fantasy. As we observe these slumbering figures lost
