EDITORS COMMENTS
Torii Kiyonobu I's 'The Dance of Asahina and Umejumaru' (Asaina Umejumaru mai no dan), c. 1707, is a stunning hand-colored woodblock print from the Eight Scenes of Kanazawa (Kanazawa hakkei) series. This artwork, housed at the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases the artistic prowess of the Ukiyo-e school during the 18th century in Japan. The scene depicts an outing on a boat trip, with passengers enjoying the entertainment provided by two dancers, Asahina and Umejumaru. Asahina, a female entertainer, gracefully performs a dance while Umejumaru, a male dancer, playfully imitates her moves. The vibrant colors and intricate details in the print bring the scene to life, transporting the viewer to the serene waters of Japan during the 18th century. The print is titled 'Oban Yoko E Tan E' and is signed by Torii Kiyonobu I, who was a prominent figure in the artistic community during this period. The image of Shobe Torii, a famous landmark in Kanazawa, is also visible in the background, further emphasizing the connection to the city and its heritage. The Dance of Asahina and Umejumaru is a testament to the rich artistic traditions of Japan during the 18th century. The captivating dance scene, set against the backdrop of a peaceful boat trip, is a reminder of the importance of entertainment and enjoyment in everyday life. This woodblock print continues to captivate audiences and remains an essential piece of the artistic legacy of Torii Kiyonobu I and the Ukiyo-e school.
