EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "No. 4: Chinese boys playing a raffle game" transports us back to the vibrant world of 18th century Japan. Created by Torii Kiyonaga as part of his series "Children Say This is Japan! and Imitate the Games They See in Picturebooks" this woodblock print captures a delightful scene filled with youthful energy and cultural exchange. In this artwork, we witness a group of Chinese boys dressed in colorful traditional costumes engaging in a lively raffle game. Their attire, meticulously depicted with intricate details, showcases the fashion clothing prevalent during the Edo period. The boys' kimono robes are adorned with shades of pink and green, adding an enchanting touch to their playful demeanor. Kiyonaga's masterful use of color woodblock printing brings life to every aspect of this composition. The rose-colored backdrop serves as an exquisite canvas for these young characters who embody innocence and joy. As they immerse themselves in this pastime activity, it becomes evident that games have no boundaries when it comes to fostering camaraderie among children from different cultures. Through this artwork, Kiyonaga invites us into a world where art transcends time and space, capturing moments that resonate across centuries. It reminds us of the universal language spoken by children through play – one that bridges continents and embraces diversity. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's gallery, this piece stands as a testament to Kiyonaga's artistic prowess within the renowned Torii School tradition. Its presence not only celebrates heritage art but also encourages viewers to appreciate the beauty found within cross-cultural encounters throughout history.
