Delivering New Year Gifts in the Snow
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating double-page illustration from the Kyoka anthology "The Young God Ebisu," created by the renowned Japanese artist Kitagawa Utamaro in 1789. This color woodblock print showcases the vibrant and intricate details of Edo period life, capturing the essence of the New Year season during the Tokugawa period in Japan. The scene unfolds on a wintry day, with the snow-covered landscape dotted with houses and buildings, their exteriors adorned with traditional Japanese decorations. A man, dressed in a formal kimono, braves the cold weather as he delivers gifts to a woman, who is also dressed in a beautiful, traditional kimono. The woman, standing before her house, is surrounded by other women, all clad in their finest apparel, as they engage in lively conversation. The colorful print, with its rich hues and intricate patterns, is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo period. The illustration is a double-page spread from an album, providing a detailed and immersive glimpse into the daily life of the Japanese people during this time. The poem "The Young God Ebisu" accompanies the print, adding an additional layer of meaning and depth to the image. The scene is a celebration of the New Year, a time for giving and receiving gifts, and the joy and warmth that comes from the company of loved ones. The print is a beautiful reminder of the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the artistic mastery of Kitagawa Utamaro. This stunning work of art is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or the history of the Edo period. It is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
