EDITORS COMMENTS
Torii Kiyonaga's 'The Brine Maidens of Suma' from the series 'A Brocade of Eastern Manners' (Fuzoku Azuma no nishiki), created around 1783-84, is a captivating color woodblock print that showcases the beauty and elegance of traditional Japanese culture. The image features two brine maidens, dressed in their distinctive attire, standing on the shores of Suma in Hyogo, Japan. The brine maidens, also known as shiokumi or sekiguchi shinsuke, were women who worked at the salt fields along the coast. Their unique costumes, consisting of black kimonos with red accents and shoulder poles, were designed to protect them from the sun and the harsh conditions of their work. The maidens are depicted looking back over their shoulders, perhaps taking a moment to enjoy the serene beauty of the seashore before returning to their labor. The print is a prime example of the ukiyo-e artistic style, which flourished in Japan during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Ukiyo-e translates to 'pictures of the floating world,' and this style focused on capturing the ephemeral beauty of everyday life. Kiyonaga's masterful use of color and composition in 'The Brine Maidens of Suma' invites viewers to appreciate the rich heritage and traditions of Japan during this period. This stunning work of art is now part of the permanent collection at the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and educate visitors about the artistic school of Torii and the broader context of Japanese art and culture.
