EDITORS COMMENTS
This handcoloured ukiyo-e woodblock print, titled 'Edo Street Scene, 18th Century,' offers a glimpse into the bustling daily life of Edo-period Japan. The scene is set on a narrow street, where the vibrant colors and intricate details of the wooden buildings and traditional Japanese clothing stand out against the pale background. On the left side of the image, a dance teacher (identified by the fan and long robe) instructs a young pupil, their focused expressions reflecting the importance of the arts in Edo society. A nori (glue) seller, dressed in a simple robe and carrying a large wooden tub, is beckoned by workers in a small family business. The women, dressed in elegant kimonos, are engaged in various tasks, such as washing clothes in a wooden tub and sweeping the floor with a broom. A maid, wearing a more casual outfit, carries a baby on her back, while a man, likely a laborer, wears a yoke and carries heavy loads. The cartouche at the top of the print identifies the artist as Toyokuni Utagawa and the title as 'Picture Book of the Modern Forms and Figures.' This print, originally published in 1802, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and diverse social classes of Edo-period Japan. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this woodblock print continue to captivate viewers and provide valuable insights into the daily life and fashion of the era.
