EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Meiji Dance Recital, 1880s" by Sessei takes us back to the vibrant and culturally rich Meiji era in Japan. The image showcases a momentous event where new members of the dancing and musical schools are introduced to the public during springtime. Amidst a backdrop of cherry trees in full bloom, this performance is an exquisite fusion of traditional Japanese artistry with a touch of European influence. Intriguingly, we spot a European gentleman wearing a hat on the right side of the frame, symbolizing the growing exchange between continents during that time. The stage is adorned with colorful curtains while dancers gracefully move to rhythmic beats played by musicians wielding various instruments such as drums, flutes, and samisens. The photograph beautifully captures both nature's splendor and human creativity. It highlights not only the performers but also their surroundings - soft furnishings adding elegance to the scene. This artwork represents an important milestone in Japanese heritage art as it reflects how cultural traditions were celebrated through music, dance, and visual aesthetics. Sessei's skillful use of color woodblock printing brings life to every detail within this mesmerizing composition. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece from Chicago's Art Institute collection, we are transported back in time to witness an enchanting performance that seamlessly merges tradition with innovation.
