EDITORS COMMENTS
The Sixth Month (Kazemachizuki), from the series 'Fashionable Monthly Visits to Sacred Places in the Four Seasons' captures a vibrant scene of Edo period Japan. Created by Torii Kiyonaga in 1784, this color woodblock print showcases the artist's mastery in depicting fashion and daily life. In this artwork, three people are depicted visiting a market stall during the sixth month of the year. The bustling atmosphere is palpable as customers browse through an array of clothing and apparel. The shopkeeper, Sekiguchi Shinsuke, attentively assists his patrons while showcasing his merchandise. The attention to detail is remarkable - from the intricate patterns on kimonos to the delicate birdcage hanging above. Kiyonaga's skillful use of black adds depth and contrast to the composition, highlighting both human figures and their surroundings. This artwork not only offers insight into 18th-century Japanese fashion but also serves as a window into society at that time. It reflects how people engaged with commerce and sought out fashionable attire for different seasons. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this print stands as a testament to Kiyonaga's contribution to Japanese art history. Through his unique style and meticulous craftsmanship, he immortalized moments like these for future generations to appreciate.
