EDITORS COMMENTS
. This woodblock print transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century Japan during the Edo period. The artist, Kitao Shigemasa, skillfully captures a scene of autumnal beauty and cultural tradition in this exquisite artwork. The print depicts a group of elegantly dressed women immersed in the age-old Japanese custom known as Momijigari or viewing maple leaves. Dressed in vibrant kimonos adorned with intricate patterns and colors, they stand amidst a picturesque landscape filled with lush maple trees ablaze with fiery red foliage. Shigemasa's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition - from the delicate rendering of each leaf on the trees to the graceful poses and expressions of the women. The rich hues used in this colour woodblock print evoke a sense of warmth and tranquility that perfectly encapsulates the essence of autumn. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported into an era where nature's beauty was celebrated through art. This work serves as a testament to both Shigemasa's artistic prowess and his deep appreciation for traditional customs. Displayed at The Art Institute Chicago, this piece stands as a testament to Japan's rich artistic heritage and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm
