EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Dog (Inu), from the series 'Fashionable Twelve Signs of the Zodiac (Furyu juni shi)'" takes us back to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. Attributed to Torii Kiyonaga, a renowned artist of his time, this woodblock print showcases his mastery in capturing both beauty and emotion. The image features a woman elegantly dressed in traditional Japanese attire, standing barefoot with her loyal canine companion by her side. The vibrant colors and intricate details highlight the artistry involved in block printing during that era. Kiyonaga's portrayal of the female figure is graceful and delicate, emphasizing the harmony between humans and animals. The dog symbolizes loyalty and protection, while its presence adds depth to this artistic composition. As we admire this piece at the Art Institute of Chicago's gallery, we are transported to a different time and place. This artwork not only reflects Japanese culture but also serves as a testament to Kiyonaga's contribution to ukiyo-e - a genre of woodblock prints popularized during Tokugawa period. Through this photo print, we can appreciate how art has transcended centuries, preserving history for generations to come. It reminds us that even though times may change, our connection with nature and our furry companions remains timeless.
