EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning double page illustration is taken from Kitagawa Utamaro's Picture Book: Flowers of the Four Seasons, published in Japan during the New Year of 1801. The image, titled "Enjoying Fireworks," captures the joy and excitement of a group of people as they gather to watch the night sky light up with the vibrant colors of fireworks. The scene is set in a tranquil outdoor setting, with a checkered bench serving as the focal point for the figures dressed in traditional Edo Period clothing. The boys and girls wear colorful kimonos adorned with intricate patterns, adding to the visual richness of the composition. The girls' dresses are layered with various textures, from smooth silk to rough woven fabric, reflecting the diversity of materials used in Japanese apparel during the time. The boys, on the other hand, wear simpler clothing, with loose-fitting trousers and short jackets. The figures are arranged in a way that invites the viewer to join in their enjoyment of the moment, creating a sense of community and shared experience. The fireworks bursting in the sky are depicted in intricate detail, with each explosion of color captured in exquisite detail through the art of color woodblock printing. This beautiful illustration is a testament to the artistic school of Kitagawa Utamaro, who is renowned for his ability to capture the essence of everyday life in Japan during the 19th century.
