EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and detailed woodblock print by Torii Kiyomitsu takes us back to the Edo period in 18th century Japan. Titled "A parody of Narihiras eastern journey" it captures a whimsical scene from Japanese literature and showcases the artist's mastery of color and composition. In this artwork, we see a group of horsemen traveling along a country road. Dressed in traditional clothing, they are led by a distinguished courtier named Narihira Ariwara no, who is known for his poetic talents. With one hand gesturing gracefully, he commands attention as he rides on his majestic horse. The print beautifully depicts the diversity of characters encountered during their journey. Servants accompany them, carrying swords and wearing sandals while tending to their needs. The horses themselves are meticulously rendered with great attention to detail. Kiyomitsu's skillful use of color brings life to every element within the composition – from the vibrant robes worn by each rider to the lush greenery that surrounds them. This piece exemplifies the artistic school of Edo-period Japan and its dedication to capturing both beauty and storytelling through visual art. Displayed at an art gallery or institute such as The Art Institute Chicago, this print serves as a testament to Kiyomitsu's talent as well as preserving Japan's rich cultural heritage for generations to come.
