EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Entertainers of Tachibana (Kitchugi), from the series 'A Collection of Contemporary Beauties of the Pleasure Quarters (Tosei yuri bijin awase)', c. 1781" by Torii Kiyonaga transports us back to the vibrant world of Edo period Japan. The image showcases three beautifully adorned female entertainers, exuding elegance and grace. Dressed in exquisite kimonos that boast a stunning combination of olive green and black colors, these women epitomize the fashion trends of their time. Their attire is meticulously detailed with intricate patterns and accessorized with hair ornaments known as kanzashi, adding an extra touch of allure to their appearance. The artist's masterful use of block printing techniques brings out every nuance in this color woodblock print. From the delicate folds in their clothing to the subtle shading on their faces, each element comes alive on paper. As they pose against a backdrop featuring parasols and foliage, it becomes evident that these entertainers belong to Tachibanaya, a renowned establishment within the pleasure quarters. This setting was famous for its entertainment offerings during the Tokugawa period. Torii Kiyonaga's work not only captures a moment frozen in time but also provides us with a glimpse into Japanese culture and heritage. It serves as a testament to his skill as an artist belonging to the esteemed Torii school. Displayed at The Art Institute Chicago, this piece invites viewers to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance within Asian arts.
