Description
A modern color ukiyo-e woodblock print on paper titled "The Echigoya on New Year's Day" by Torii Kiyonaga. This example is a later impression, originally created between 1784 and 1794. This vibrant scene captures an elegantly dressed women and children interact with a merchant amid festive New Year's celebrations. Rendered in rich blues, oranges, and delicate patterns, the composition exemplifies Kiyonaga's mastery of bijin-ga (images of beautiful women) and genre scenes of urban life. This later impression retains the crisp linework, harmonious color balance, and refined detail that make the original an enduring masterpiece of the Edo period, while offering the precision and freshness of modern Japanese woodblock craftsmanship. From a private collection. Dimensions: 16"h x 10.5"w (unframed) / 22.75"h x 16.5"w x .25"d (framed). In very good vintage condition. Full condition reports are available upon request.
Torii Kiyonaga (1752-1815) was one of the most celebrated ukiyo-e masters of the Edo period, renowned for elevating the bijin-ga (images of beautiful women) genre to new artistic heights. As head of the Torii school, he expanded its focus beyond traditional kabuki theater prints to refined depictions of everyday life in Edo, characterized by graceful figures, balanced compositions, and sophisticated use of color and perspective. His works were widely admired during his lifetime, influencing contemporaries and later masters such as Utamaro and Hiroshige. Today, Kiyonaga"s prints are represented in major museum collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Tokyo National Museum, securing his legacy as a pivotal figure in Japanese art history.
