EDITORS COMMENTS
by Torii Kiyomitsu captures the vibrant essence of Edo period Japan. In this exquisite woodblock print, we are transported to a time when tradition and celebration intertwined seamlessly. The scene unfolds in a picturesque countryside setting as two women take a leisurely stroll. Dressed in elegant kimonos adorned with intricate patterns, they exude grace and poise. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, from the delicate hair decorations to the comb gently held by one of the women. As they walk hand-in-hand, their gestures convey an air of excitement and anticipation for the new year ahead. Perhaps they are pointing towards something that has caught their eye or engaging in lively conversation about their hopes and dreams.
