EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Surimono commemorating the 50th anniversary of the death of the actor Iwai Hanshiro III" takes us back to 19th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by Torii Kiyonaga, a renowned artist from the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, this woodblock print showcases his mastery in capturing both human emotions and natural beauty. Set against a backdrop of vibrant autumn colors, we see a group of men and women gathered under a majestic maple tree for a picnic. The atmosphere is filled with joy and merriment as they enjoy each other's company amidst nature's splendor. A feline companion gracefully lounges nearby, adding an element of charm to the scene. The attention to detail in this artwork is remarkable. Every figure is meticulously depicted, showcasing traditional Japanese attire and hairstyles that were prevalent during that era. Kiyonaga's skillful use of color brings life to every aspect - from the rich hues adorning their garments to the delicate shades on leaves fluttering above them. As we admire this surimono print at the Art Institute Chicago or any art gallery fortunate enough to possess it within its collection, we are transported back in time. We can almost feel ourselves immersed in this picturesque moment where people found solace in nature's embrace while celebrating an esteemed actor who had left an indelible mark on their hearts. Through Kiyonaga's artistry, we gain insight into not only Japan
