EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening Glow at Seta (Seta Sekisho)": A Vibrant Portrayal of Domestic Life in Nineteenth-Century Japan by Kikukawa Eizan This color woodblock print, titled "Evening Glow at Seta (Seta Sekisho)" by Kikukawa Eizan, is a stunning representation of domestic life during the Edo period in Japan. Part of the "Fashionable Eight Views of Omi (Furyu Omi Hakkei)" series, this artwork showcases the beauty and elegance of the Omi region, particularly the Seta Sekisho fortress located in Otsu, Shiga Prefecture, Kinki, Asia. The print depicts a serene scene of a mother and her children enjoying the evening glow while seated on the veranda of a traditional Japanese house. The mother, dressed in an elegant kimono with an intricately patterned obi, cradles a young child in her arms, while another child plays nearby. The warmth of the setting sun is captured through the use of rich, warm colors - beige, brown, and red - and the soft, delicate brushstrokes of calligraphy. The children's clothing, too, is a testament to the artistic skill of Kikukawa Eizan. Their kimonos and obis are adorned with vibrant patterns, adding to the overall visual appeal of the print. The oban-sized woodblock print also features the traditional Japanese domestic elements, such as the tatami mat flooring, sliding doors, and the sash (obi) used to secure the kimono. This artwork not only showcases the artistic school of the time but also provides a glimpse into the daily life of the Japanese people during the nineteenth century. The "Fashionable Eight Views of Omi" series, with its focus on the beauty of the region and its people, is a significant contribution to the artistic heritage of Japan. The print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, fashion, or the history of Japan. This beautiful artwork is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, adding to its significance as a valuable piece of Asian art and cultural heritage.
