EDITORS COMMENTS
Tanabata Festival Dance" is a captivating woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Kunisada, created during the 1830s as part of his "Five Seasonal Festivals" series. This print showcases the vibrant and lively atmosphere of the Tanabata Festival, a traditional Japanese event celebrated on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, which commemorates the meeting of the deities Orihime and Hikoboshi. The print depicts a group of elegantly dressed women, adorned in intricate kimonos and various types of footwear, including geta and kinraisha, engaging in a lively dance. The scene is set against a decorative backdrop of colorful lanterns, festive decorations, and a carriage with blue boots and boots adorned with the design of the Gototei mon (a crest used by the Imperial Household Agency). The women's apparel displays the latest fashion trends of the Edo period, with bright and bold colors, intricate patterns, and delicate embroidery. The print also showcases the various textures and materials used in traditional Japanese clothing, such as silk, cotton, and linen. The print is a left panel of a triptych, and the other two panels depict different aspects of the Tanabata Festival. This print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and the enjoyment and appreciation of the arts during the Edo period. The Tanabata Festival Dance is a beautiful and lively representation of the spirit of friendship and the joy of community celebration that continues to be celebrated in Japan and around the world today. This print is a valuable piece of Asian art history and a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese culture, fashion, and the arts. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) and is a reminder of the beauty and richness of the artistic traditions of Japan during the 19th century.
