EDITORS COMMENTS
The Ninth Month (Choyo), from the series "A Fashionable Parody of the Five Festivals (Furyu yatsushi gosekku)", c. 1776/81, is a captivating woodblock print by Isoda Koryusai. This 18th-century artwork showcases the exquisite artistry and cultural significance of ukiyo-e, a traditional Japanese genre. In this colorful print, two women are depicted in their elegant kimonos engaged in flower arranging, a popular pastime during Choyo, the ninth month of the lunar calendar. The vibrant green and grey hues beautifully complement their attire, adding depth to the composition. Koryusai's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this piece - from the intricate patterns on their clothing to their serene expressions. The artist skillfully captures both gracefulness and tranquility within his subjects' poses as they sit side by side. The print not only highlights domestic life but also reflects Japan's rich artistic heritage. It serves as a window into an era when leisure activities such as flower arranging were highly valued and celebrated. Displayed at the Art Institute of Chicago's Asian Art Gallery, this woodblock print stands as a testament to Koryusai's mastery and continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty. As we admire this work today, we can appreciate how it represents both historical traditions and artistic innovation.
