EDITORS COMMENTS
The Twelfth Month (Harumachizuki), from the series 'Fashionable Monthly Visits to Sacred Places in the Four Seasons' by Torii Kiyonaga, captures a vibrant scene of Edo-period Japan. This exquisite color woodblock print, created around 1784, showcases the artist's mastery in depicting traditional clothing and fashion trends of the time. In this artwork, four elegantly dressed individuals are seen visiting a sacred location during the twelfth month. The men and women don lavish kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and rich colors such as olive green, black, and brown. Their attire reflects both their social status and adherence to traditional customs. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in their garments is meticulously rendered through block printing techniques. The composition exudes harmony with its balanced arrangement of figures against a backdrop of lush greenery. Kiyonaga was part of the Torii school, known for its ukiyo-e prints that depicted scenes from everyday life in Japan. His works often portrayed fashionable men and women engaged in leisurely activities or attending cultural events. This particular print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also provides valuable insights into Japanese culture during the Tokugawa period. It stands as a testament to Kiyonaga's skillful craftsmanship and his ability to capture the essence of beauty within traditional costume.
