EDITORS COMMENTS
No. 3 - Autumn: Chrysanthemum Festival" is a captivating woodblock print from the series "Pleasures of the Four Seasons" (Shiki no asobi) created by Okumura Toshinobu in the early 18th century. This masterpiece showcases the beauty and charm of autumn in Japan, with a focus on the annual Chrysanthemum Festival. The image depicts a group of people, both men and women, gathered at the entrance of a garden, admiring the vibrant chrysanthemums in full bloom. The scene is set against a backdrop of a serene countryside, with a bamboo gateway serving as the gateway to the garden. Servants, carrying baskets and trays, attend to the festival-goers, adding to the lively atmosphere. The print is hand-colored, with the rich hues of the chrysanthemums and the earthy tones of the garden and the attire of the people creating a stunning contrast. The use of bare feet adds to the authenticity of the scene, as it was customary for people to remove their shoes before entering a garden or temple. Okumura Toshinobu, a renowned artist of the Kakugetsudo Bunzen artistic school, expertly captures the essence of the season, the joy and appreciation of the people for the beauty of nature, and the harmony between the human body and the natural world. The print is a testament to the artistic prowess of the ukiyo-e tradition and serves as a reminder of the simple pleasures of life in 18th century Japan. This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the beauty of the changing seasons. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its permanent collection, allowing us to appreciate and learn from the art of the past.
