EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Torii Kiyonaga takes us back to 18th century Japan, specifically to Yumoto, one of the Seven Famous Hot Springs of Hakone. The scene depicts a bustling street filled with people going about their daily lives. In this snapshot of Edo period Japan, we catch a glimpse of the country's rich cultural heritage. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring the image to life, showcasing the traditional clothing worn by both men and women during that time. We see women elegantly dressed in beautiful kimonos, carrying fans and smoking tobacco pipes known as kiseru. Men can be seen wearing hats and holding hand-held fans as they walk along the road. The print also highlights various modes of transportation used in this era. Palanquins or sedan chairs are carried by servants while others opt for litters or simply walking on foot. Sandals called geta were commonly worn by both men and women for comfortable travel. While admiring this artwork, it is impossible not to notice the presence of children amidst all the activity. This raises questions about child labor practices during that time period. Overall, Kiyonaga's woodblock print offers us a window into a different era - an enchanting glimpse into everyday life in 18th century Japan where tradition meets modernity through artistry and craftsmanship.
