EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print by Torii Kiyonaga, titled "The Seventh Month (Shichigatsu), from the series 'Twelve Months in the South (Minami), ' c. 1783/84" takes us back to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. The artwork showcases a scene on a veranda, or engawa, where a group of women are enjoying an evening filled with music and merriment. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this print. From the intricate architectural features and balconies adorned with lanterns casting a warm glow, to the delicate hand gestures of the female figures playing musical instruments, each element adds depth and richness to this composition. As we gaze upon this piece, we can almost hear the melodic tunes floating through the night air. The vibrant colors and skillful printing techniques transport us into another time and place, allowing us to immerse ourselves in Japanese culture and tradition. "The Seventh Month" captures not only a specific season but also represents a moment frozen in time – one that celebrates beauty, artistry, and camaraderie among women. This heritage artwork serves as a testament to Torii Kiyonaga's mastery as well as his contribution to ukiyo-e prints. Displayed at The Art Institute of Chicago's gallery space dedicated to Asian arts, this woodblock print continues to captivate audiences with its timeless charm and cultural significance.
