EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print, created by Torii Kiyonaga in the late 18th century, transports us to a serene scene at the Mimeguri Shrine. The image depicts a group of elegantly dressed women visiting this sacred site during Japan's Edo period. The women, full-length figures with delicate fans held in their hands, stand before the shrine's entrance gate. With graceful hand gestures and expressions of reverence on their faces, they engage in religious rituals or perhaps offer prayers for blessings and protection. Kiyonaga's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork. From the intricate patterns on the women's kimonos to the lush garden surrounding them, each element contributes to creating an immersive experience for viewers. As we admire this triptych print - one sheet from a larger series - we can almost feel ourselves transported back in time, joining these pilgrims on their day trip to Mimeguri Inari. This piece not only showcases Kiyonaga's mastery of ukiyo-e (pictures of the floating world), but also provides us with a glimpse into Japanese culture and heritage. Today, housed within the Art Institute of Chicago's extensive collection, this stunning print continues to attract visitors who are drawn to its beauty and historical significance. It serves as a reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us with different eras and traditions around the world.
