EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous woodblock print, titled "Double Pillow, Japan" was created by the renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro during the Edo period in Japan around 1794/95. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, this artwork showcases Utamaro's mastery of ukiyo-e, a popular art form during that time. The print depicts two women engaged in an intimate conversation while resting on a double pillow. Their laughter is evident as they exchange jokes or gossip with one another. The artist skillfully captures their joyous expressions and gestures through intricate hand movements and facial details. Utamaro's use of color adds depth to the composition, enhancing the overall impact of the artwork. The vivid hues bring life to both the women's clothing and surroundings, transporting viewers to 18th-century Japan. As part of a triptych (a three-panelled screen), this particular piece represents only one sheet from the larger composition. It highlights Utamaro's ability to capture fleeting moments within everyday life while showcasing his artistic prowess. "Double Pillow" not only serves as a testament to Utamaro's talent but also provides insight into Japanese culture during this era. This heritage art piece offers viewers a glimpse into Tokugawa-period society, where humor and camaraderie were cherished values among women. Overall, this woodblock print invites us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical significance within Asian arts.
