Trimming Her Nails, c. 1755 - A Glimpse into Edo Period Pampering
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodblock print by Torii Kiyohiro takes us back to the vibrant streets of 18th century Japan during the Edo period. Titled "Trimming Her Nails" it offers a fascinating glimpse into the private moments of a woman's daily routine. In this scene, we find a young Japanese woman seated on a bamboo bench in her tranquil garden. With delicate precision, she tends to her grooming ritual, meticulously trimming her fingernails and toenails with scissors. The artist skillfully captures every detail - from the intricate patterns on her kimono to the graceful curve of her bare feet resting on traditional geta sandals. Surrounded by lush foliage and under the shade of a majestic willow tree, solitude envelops this serene moment. The gentle rustling of leaves and distant chirping birds create an atmosphere of tranquility that enhances the sense of self-care and personal indulgence. Kiyohiro's masterful use of color brings vibrancy to this ukiyo-e artwork; vivid hues breathe life into nature's palette as flowers bloom amidst verdant plants. Through his meticulous printing technique, he showcases not only his artistic prowess but also provides insight into Japanese cultural heritage. "Trimming Her Nails" invites viewers to appreciate both beauty and simplicity in everyday activities while offering a window into Tokugawa-era fashion trends and grooming practices. This
