EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Hour of the Hare [6am]" by Utamaro takes us back to 18th-century Yoshiwara, a famous pleasure district in Japan. This exquisite woodblock print from the series "The Twelve Hours in Yoshiwara" beautifully captures the essence of early morning as a woman gets ready for her day. In this scene, we witness a female figure standing gracefully, fully dressed in an elegant kimono robe. The soft hues and delicate lines bring out the tranquility of dawn, while also highlighting the intricate details of her attire. As she meticulously adjusts her garments, we can almost feel the anticipation and energy that comes with starting a new day. Utamaro's masterful technique transports us to a time when every hour had its own significance and charm. Here, during the Hour of the Hare at 6 am, we glimpse into this woman's daily routine - one that is both personal and universal. It reminds us that no matter what era or culture we belong to, mornings are filled with rituals that help prepare us for what lies ahead. This remarkable artwork is part of The Art Institute of Chicago's Clarence Buckingham Collection and serves as a testament to Utamaro's enduring legacy as one of Japan's most celebrated ukiyo-e artists. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers today, inviting them to appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also reflect on their own morning routines and embrace each new day with grace and purpose.
