The Sixth Month, Enjoying the Evening Cool in a Teahouse
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Torii Kiyonaga that transports us to 18th century Japan. This diptych from the series "The Twelve Months in the Southern Quarter" beautifully captures a moment of leisure and relaxation during the summer season. In this scene, we find ourselves in a traditional teahouse where people gather to escape the heat and revel in the coolness of the evening. The soft lighting provided by lanterns creates an enchanting atmosphere as guests enjoy each other's company. Kiyonaga's attention to detail is evident in his depiction of clothing and fashion. The vibrant colors of kimonos worn by women add splashes of orange and black against a backdrop of grey blinds. Each figure is meticulously rendered, showcasing Kiyonaga's mastery of block printing techniques. As we observe this artwork, we are transported back in time to experience not only the visual beauty but also feel a sense of tranquility that permeates through every brushstroke. It serves as a reminder that amidst our busy lives, taking moments for relaxation and enjoyment is essential for our well-being. "The Sixth Month, Enjoying the Evening Cool in a Teahouse" stands as an exquisite example of Torii Kiyonaga's contribution to Japanese art during the Edo period. Its presence within The Art Institute Chicago allows visitors to appreciate its artistic significance while immersing themselves in Japan's rich cultural heritage.
