EDITORS COMMENTS
The Fifth Month (Gogatsu), from the series "The Twelve Months (Juni toki)", c. 1791, is a captivating woodblock print created by Hosoda Eishi during the Edo period in Japan. This exquisite artwork showcases the beauty of nature and everyday life in eighteenth-century Japan. In this scene, we see two elegant women engaging in a delightful conversation while enjoying tea amidst a serene garden filled with vibrant irises. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings out the delicate folds of their kimonos and captures the graceful gestures as they speak. Eishi's mastery of color woodblock printing shines through in this piece, with each hue carefully chosen to evoke a sense of tranquility and harmony. The soft pastel tones create an atmosphere that transports viewers into this idyllic setting. As part of "The Twelve Months" series, which depicts scenes corresponding to each month of the year, "The Fifth Month" represents early summer when irises are in full bloom. It serves as both an artistic expression and a reflection on Japanese cultural traditions surrounding seasonal changes. This print is housed at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian art collection, where it stands as a testament to Eishi's skill as one of Japan's renowned ukiyo-e artists. Its presence allows visitors to appreciate not only its aesthetic value but also gain insight into Japanese history and heritage.
