EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Uranosuke Plays Blind Mans Buff with the Women of the Ichiriki Joroya, ca. 1790" takes us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. Created by Torii Kiyonaga, a renowned artist of the ukiyo-e artistic school, this polychrome woodblock print showcases his mastery in capturing intricate details and conveying emotions. The scene unfolds within an architectural masterpiece adorned with balconies and traditional Japanese elements. A group of elegantly dressed women engage in a lively game of blind man's buff, known as hoodman blind. Their colorful kimonos beautifully contrast against the ink and color on paper medium used for this artwork. Kiyonaga skillfully portrays the joyous atmosphere as Uranosuke playfully tries to catch one of the women while being blindfolded. The composition exudes a sense of leisure and camaraderie among these individuals who have gathered at this iconic location - Ichiriki Joroya. As we admire this heritage art piece from the Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported to a different time and place where games served as cherished pastimes for people across all walks of life. Through Kiyonaga's meticulous craftsmanship, he not only captures a moment frozen in time but also offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture during that era. This woodblock print serves as both an aesthetic delight and historical documentation, reminding us that art has always been an integral part of human
