EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Woman with Battledore and Shuttlecock, 1815-20" transports us back to the Momoyama period in Japan. Created by the talented Torii Kiyotomo, this artwork beautifully captures a moment of leisure and grace. The woman depicted exudes elegance as she engages in a game of hanetsuki, an ancient Japanese pastime similar to badminton. Dressed in a stunning traditional kimono, her attire showcases intricate details and vibrant colors that reflect the rich heritage of Japanese fashion. The combination of black and gold on paper adds depth and sophistication to the image. As we gaze upon this hanging scroll, we are reminded of the timeless beauty found within Japanese art. Kiyotomo's skillful use of ink brings life to every stroke, highlighting not only the woman's physical features but also her inner strength and poise. Her portrait is a testament to the enduring spirit of women throughout history. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece serves as a reminder that games can transcend time and culture while providing moments for relaxation and enjoyment. It invites us to appreciate both the artistic mastery behind it and its historical significance within Japanese society during that era. As we admire this remarkable creation by Torii Kiyotomo, we are transported into a world where tradition meets beauty - an exquisite portrayal capturing one woman's serene presence amidst an age-old game.
