EDITORS COMMENTS
"Torii Kiyonaga's Hairdressing Room (Kamibeya) from the series Ten Kinds of Incense in the Pleasure Quarters, created around 1793/94, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of Edo period Japan. This color woodblock print, part of the Torii School's artistic legacy, depicts a hairdressing salon filled with vibrant colors and lively activity. Four people, including a hairdresser and three customers, occupy the intimate space. The hairdresser, dressed in a formal kimono, skillfully attends to a young girl's intricately styled hair. The girl, dressed in a pink kimono adorned with roses, sits patiently on a low stool, her expression one of contentment. Two other women, also dressed in elegant kimonos, look on, engaged in conversation. The interior of the hairdressing room is warmly lit, with natural light filtering in through the shoji screens. The room is adorned with green and pink decorations, adding to the overall sense of tranquility and relaxation. The attention to detail in the clothing, from the intricate patterns on the kimonos to the subtle folds of the fabric, is a testament to Kiyonaga's mastery of the ukiyo-e style. This print not only showcases the beauty and elegance of traditional Japanese clothing and hairstyles but also offers a glimpse into the daily life of the pleasure quarters during the eighteenth century. The print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art, and its rich colors and intricate details continue to captivate viewers today." This print is part of the collection of the Art Institute of Chicago and is a prime example of the artistic school of ukiyo-e, a genre of Japanese art that flourished during the Edo period. The print is also known as Chuban size, which refers to its intermediate size between the smaller Oban and larger Oban-no-koban formats. Sekiguchi Shinsuke is another artist known for his works in this style.
