The Seventh Month - A Captivating Glimpse into Edo Period Japan
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this mesmerizing 19th-century colour woodblock print, titled "The Seventh Month" we are transported to the enchanting world of Edo period Japan. Part of the iconic series "The Twelve Months by Two Artists (Ryoga juni ko)" this artwork by Utagawa Toyohiro captures a moment in time that is both serene and full of life. Set against a backdrop of a tranquil garden with an engawa veranda, we witness a group of women engaged in their daily tasks. Clad in traditional attire, these females exude strength as they work together to lift buckets filled with seafood from a water well using pulleys and winching gear. Their hand gestures convey determination and unity, showcasing the power of collaboration. As our gaze shifts towards the foreground, we are captivated by the underwater scene unfolding beneath transparent sun blinds. Exquisitely detailed fish gracefully swim amidst aquatic plants, creating an ethereal atmosphere that transports us into another realm. This oban triptych print not only showcases Toyohiro's exceptional artistic skill but also provides insight into Japanese culture during the Tokugawa period. It serves as a testament to the rich heritage art forms that continue to inspire generations today. Displayed proudly at The Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this masterpiece invites viewers to immerse themselves in its vibrant colours and intricate details—a true testament to the enduring beauty found within Japanese ukiyo-e prints.
