EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a woodblock print titled "Three figures, 1693" created by Torii Kiyonobu I. The artwork is featured in the book "Kokon Shi-Shibai Hyakunin Isshu" illustrated by Torii Kiyonobu in 1693, but published in "Block Printing & Book Illustration in Japan" by Louise Norton Brown in 1924. The image showcases three individuals dressed in traditional Japanese attire from the Edo period. A man and a woman stand on either side of another man who holds a sword, suggesting a scene from an ancient war or battle. The intricate patterns on their garments add depth to the monochrome composition. Torii Kiyonobu's artistic style shines through this piece with his attention to detail and skillful use of calligraphy. The print exemplifies the ukiyo-e genre popular during the eighteenth century, depicting scenes from everyday life and entertainment. Louise Norton Brown's publication provides valuable insight into Japanese block printing techniques and book illustration practices during that time. This snapshot transports viewers back to centuries past, offering a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage. It serves as a reminder of the enduring beauty found within historical art forms and invites contemplation about the country's traditions and artistic schools that have shaped its identity over time.
