EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodblock print, titled "Elegant Pleasures: The Scent of Flowers, right (Furyu hana no ka asobi, jo)" transports us to 18th century Japan during the Edo period. Created by renowned artist Kitagawa Utamaro, this diptych showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of beauty and elegance. In this particular scene, we witness two women immersed in a serene garden setting. Dressed in exquisite traditional clothing that reflects the fashion trends of that era, their colorful kimonos beautifully contrast against the vibrant flora surrounding them. One woman delicately holds a scented flower close to her face while her companion gracefully gestures towards it with admiration. The attention to detail is remarkable; from their meticulously styled hair adorned with intricate accessories to their graceful hand gestures and perfectly positioned geta sandals. Utamaro's skillful use of color and composition further enhances the overall aesthetic appeal of this artwork. As we gaze at this print, we are transported into a world where nature intertwines seamlessly with human existence. The scent of flowers fills the air as these women engage in an intimate moment shared between friends. It is through Utamaro's artistry that we can appreciate not only the visual beauty but also experience a sensory journey through time. Displayed within the Art Institute Chicago's collection, this piece serves as a testament to Japanese artistic heritage and Ukiyo-e tradition. It reminds us of our connection to nature and invites us to indulge in life
