By an Iris Pond, c. 1785 - A Glimpse into Edo Period Serenity
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time with this woodblock print by Torii Kiyonaga, titled "By an Iris Pond". Created during the vibrant Edo period in Japan, this exquisite diptych transports viewers to a serene and idyllic scene. In this artful composition, we find ourselves amidst a lush garden adorned with vibrant irises that bloom gracefully along the tranquil pond. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings these delicate flowers to life, their colors dancing harmoniously against the backdrop of nature's beauty. A woman dressed in traditional clothing becomes the focal point of the piece as she sits on a bench near the water's edge. With her elegantly gesturing hand and poised demeanor, she exudes grace and tranquility. Her hat and obi add a touch of refinement while her kiseru tobacco pipe hints at leisurely moments spent enjoying summer days. Kiyonaga masterfully captures not only the physical surroundings but also evokes a sense of place and time through his ukiyo-e technique. This artistic school flourished during the Tokugawa period, reflecting both everyday life scenes and idealized representations of Japanese culture. Allow yourself to be transported back centuries as you immerse yourself in this remarkable work of art—a testament to Kiyonaga's skill as well as Japan's rich artistic heritage.
