EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Torii Kiyonaga, titled "Three Women after a Bath" is part of the series "A Brocade of Eastern Manners (Fuzoku Azuma no nishiki)" created in the late 18th century during Japan's Edo period. The artwork showcases three elegantly dressed women in vibrant robes, reflecting the exquisite artistry and attention to detail that characterizes ukiyo-e prints. The women are depicted barefoot, their delicate feet resting on cushions as they engage in post-bath rituals. Their relaxed expressions and graceful poses convey a sense of tranquility and contentment. The artist skillfully captures the beauty of their bodies, emphasizing their smooth skin and slender figures. Through this artwork, Kiyonaga offers us a glimpse into Japanese culture at that time - highlighting concepts such as hygiene, health, and traditional dressing customs. The flowing robes worn by these women exemplify the fashion trends prevalent during the Tokugawa period. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Art collection, this print represents an important piece of artistic heritage from 18th-century Japan. Its intricate color palette and meticulous printing technique showcase Kiyonaga's mastery as an artist within his artistic school. As we admire this woodblock print today, we can appreciate its timeless beauty while also recognizing its historical significance in preserving Japanese traditions for future generations to admire and learn from.
