EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Torii Kiyomitsu takes us back to the Edo period in Japan, specifically to the year 1760. Titled "Three Couples Sharing Umbrellas" it beautifully captures a scene of romance and elegance. The artist's mastery of colour woodblock printing is evident in this uncut hosoban triptych benizuri e. In this artwork, three couples are depicted strolling together under a drizzling rain, their umbrellas protecting them from the elements. The vibrant colours and intricate details bring life to their traditional Japanese clothing known as kimono. Men wear kimonos with bold patterns while women don elegant and flowing robes. The couples' footwear adds an interesting element to the composition. Both men and women are seen wearing geta, traditional wooden platform shoes that elevate them above the wet ground. These pattens not only serve a practical purpose but also add visual interest to the scene. As they promenade through what appears to be a scenic location, love is in the air. The atmosphere exudes romance as each couple engages in intimate conversations beneath their shared umbrellas. Torii Kiyomitsu's artistic skill shines through his attention to detail and ability to capture human emotions within a single image. This woodblock print serves as both an exquisite piece of art and a glimpse into Japan's rich cultural heritage during the Tokugawa period. Displayed proudly at the Art Institute of Chicago, this masterpiece continues to captivate viewers centuries after its creation, reminding us
