EDITORS COMMENTS
Torii Kiyomitsu II's beautiful woodblock print, titled "Beauty Applying Rouge" from the series "Comparison of Beauties in Eastern Brocade," captures a moment of quiet introspection and self-care in the daily life of a Japanese woman during the early 19th century. The elegant figure is seated at a dressing table, her attentive gaze fixed on the reflection of her face in a polished looking glass. With one hand, she delicately applies rouge to her lips using a small brush, while with the other, she holds a hairpin, adjusting her intricately styled hair. The rich colors of the print, particularly the vibrant red of the rouge and the deep hues of her obi sash, are brought to life through the meticulous technique of color woodblock printing. The artist masterfully captures the sensuous curves of her body, the subtle textures of her clothing, and the intricate details of her hairstyle and accessories. This exquisite work of art, created by Torii Kiyomitsu II (1781-1825), is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished in Japan during the Edo period and focused on depicting the beauty and pleasures of everyday life. The print is a treasure of heritage art, now preserved and displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago, inviting us to appreciate the timeless allure of feminine beauty and the artistry of the past.
