EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sumida River Holiday, 1788-90" by Torii Kiyonaga takes us back to the vibrant Edo period in Japan. This triptych of polychrome woodblock prints showcases a scene filled with life and entertainment. In this artwork, we see a group of people enjoying a boat trip along the scenic Sumida River. The river is bustling with activity as boats glide through its waters, carrying both locals and tourists alike. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of the composition - from the intricate patterns on the clothing worn by men and women to the expressive faces of actors performing on board. The presence of musicians adds an enchanting element to this festive outing. A drummer passionately beats his drum while a kabuki actor skillfully plays the shamisen, filling the air with melodious tunes that resonate with joy. Amidst all this merriment, one cannot miss noticing a mischievous monkey perched on someone's shoulder. It adds an element of surprise and playfulness to an already lively scene. Kiyonaga's mastery in capturing human expressions and movements shines through in this piece. Each character exudes their own unique personality, making it feel like we are witnessing a live performance rather than just observing a static image. Through "Sumida River Holiday". Kiyonaga transports us back in time, allowing us to experience firsthand the rich cultural heritage and artistic brilliance that defined Japan during the Edo period
