A Mirror on a Stand Suggesting the Autumnal Moon (Kyodai no shugetsu), from the series 'Eight Scenes of the Parlor (Zashiki hakkei)', c. 1777, captures the essence of elegance and tranquility in 18th-century Japan. Created by Torii Kiyonaga, this exquisite color woodblock print showcases his mastery in depicting both beauty and artistry. In this image, a graceful female figure dressed in a vibrant red kimono stands before an intricately patterned mirror stand. The reflection reveals a mesmerizing autumnal moon, symbolizing the changing season and its profound connection to nature. The black background enhances the ethereal ambiance while drawing attention to every delicate detail. Kiyonaga's meticulous block printing technique brings life to each element within this composition – from the flowing lines of calligraphy adorning the mirror stand to the intricate design on her clothing dress. The artist skillfully combines fashion and art, showcasing traditional Japanese attire with contemporary flair. This artwork not only celebrates aesthetic beauty but also incorporates scientific elements such as astronomy and lunar observations prevalent during Japan's Edo period. It invites viewers into an intimate parlor setting where they can appreciate both artistic expression and scientific exploration. Displayed at Art Institute Chicago, this piece exemplifies Kiyonaga's contribution to Asian arts heritage while offering us a glimpse into Tokugawa-period Japan. A true testament to his talent as an artist, 'A Mirror on a Stand Suggesting the Autumnal Moon' continues to captivate audiences with its timeless allure.
