EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Two Young Attendants on New Years Day" takes us back to 19th century Japan, during the Edo period. Created by Katsukawa Shuntei as part of the series "Seven Women as the Gods of Good Fortune for the Hanagasa Poetry Club" this artwork beautifully captures a moment in time. The image showcases two young girls dressed in traditional kimonos, kneeling gracefully with an air of elegance and poise. Their clothing is adorned with intricate patterns and vibrant colors, reflecting the rich cultural heritage of Japan. The soft beige background creates a serene atmosphere that allows their presence to shine through. These attendants are engaged in flower arranging, a popular pastime during this era. With delicate precision, they arrange flowers within a cartouche while showcasing their calligraphy skills. This combination of art forms highlights the importance placed on aesthetics and creativity in Japanese culture. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into a world where tradition meets artistic expression. It serves as a reminder of the beauty found in everyday activities and how they can be elevated into works of art. Displayed at the Art Institute Chicago's Asian Arts gallery, this piece stands as a testament to Katsukawa Shuntei's skillful block printing technique and his contribution to preserving Japan's artistic legacy.
