EDITORS COMMENTS
Torii Kiyonaga's Mosquito Net, from the series A Collection of Contemporary Beauties of the Pleasure Quarters (Tosei yuri bijin awase), c. 1784, is a captivating example of the artist's mastery in the ukiyo-e (floating world) artistic tradition. This color woodblock print showcases three elegantly dressed individuals, a man and two women, enjoying a leisurely moment in a serene setting. The man, dressed in a formal kimono with a black obi belt, gazes intently at the woman in the foreground. She is adorned in a stunning green kimono with intricate patterns, her beauty accentuated by the delicate mosquito net veiling her head and shoulders. The third woman, dressed in a black kimono, sits to the side, her expression thoughtful as she observes the scene. The mosquito net, a symbol of luxury and refinement, adds an air of mystery and allure to the print. The net's black color contrasts beautifully with the green of the woman's kimono, creating a striking visual effect. The intricate patterns on the net and the women's clothing are expertly rendered through the meticulous block printing technique, showcasing the artist's skill and attention to detail. This print is a testament to the artistic school of Torii Kiyonaga and the Sekiguchi Shinsuke workshop, which produced some of the most exquisite and sought-after ukiyo-e prints of the eighteenth century. The Collection of Contemporary Beauties of the Pleasure Quarters series, of which Mosquito Net is a part, is renowned for its depictions of beautiful women and the elegant lifestyle of the pleasure quarters. This print, with its intricate details and evocative composition, continues to captivate viewers and remains an important piece of Asian art history.
