Carrying a Lantern Sponsored by the Motozaimoku-cho from the Series 'The Festival of the Sanno Shrine' (Sanno gosairei), 1780
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Torii Kiyonaga, dating back to the 18th century. This artwork showcases a group of women, dressed in traditional kimono, carrying a large lantern sponsored by the Motozaimoku-cho, an organization from Nagasaki, Japan. The festival depicted in the print is the annual Sanno Matsuri, a significant Shinto event held in honor of the Sanno deities. The intricate design of the print is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Torii School during the Edo period. The women are depicted with their heads bowed, their faces illuminated by the flickering light of the lantern, creating an ethereal and mystical atmosphere. The black color of their kimono contrasts beautifully with the red and gold accents, adding depth and dimension to the print. The intricate details of the clothing, from the delicate patterns on the kimono to the ornate obi sashes, are expertly rendered through the traditional woodblock printing technique. The print also features the distinctive Torii Kiyonaga seal, further enhancing its authenticity and value. This artwork is a precious heritage piece that provides a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan and its religious practices. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, and history. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
