The Chrysanthemum Festival in the Ninth Month
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intricately detailed woodblock print from an untitled pentaptych, or five-panel series, created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro around 1803. This masterpiece showcases the beauty and appreciation of the chrysanthemum festival during the Edo and Tokugawa periods in Japan. The left sheet of the oban-sized pentaptych depicts two elegantly dressed women, clad in traditional kimonos, seated at a table adorned with a teapot and chrysanthemum flowers. The women, with their serene expressions, engage in the time-honored tradition of admiring the blooming chrysanthemums, symbolizing longevity and perseverance. The black and striped kimonos, intricately designed with calligraphy and delicate patterns, highlight the artistic school of ukiyo-e, which focuses on the appreciation of the beauty of the floating world. The rich, black color background adds depth and contrast to the vibrant chrysanthemums and the women's clothing. The festive occasion takes place in the ninth month, known as Kugatsu in Japanese, when the chrysanthemums are in full bloom. The festivities are an integral part of Japanese heritage and are celebrated with great enthusiasm and reverence. This stunning piece of art, now housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, serves as a testament to the artistic prowess and cultural significance of the Chrysanthemum Festival during the 19th century in Japan. The intricate details, from the delicate folds of the kimonos to the meticulously painted chrysanthemums, make this print a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, and the appreciation of nature.
