EDITORS COMMENTS
Around the Kotatsu, c. 1789: A Glimpse into Edo Period Warmth and Togetherness". In this print by Katsukawa Shuncho, we are transported back to the vibrant world of 18th-century Japan. The scene captures a heartwarming moment as two women gather around a kotatsu, seeking respite from the winter chill. The kotatsu, a low table enveloped in a cozy blanket, provides both warmth and comfort with its charcoal brazier gently emanating heat from underneath. The central panel showcases a hibachi, another traditional Japanese heater that doubles as a cooking apparatus. Its presence adds an element of practicality to this intimate setting where people not only seek solace but also engage in culinary delights. Amidst the warm ambiance created by these heating devices, we witness an array of delightful details that bring this scene to life. Folding screens adorned with intricate designs serve as elegant backdrops while children playfully hold hands nearby. In the background, houses stand tall against the serene countryside backdrop. This print beautifully encapsulates the essence of Edo period living - simplicity intertwined with moments of joy and connection shared among family and friends during special occasions like New Year's Eve celebrations. As we gaze upon this masterpiece at the Art Institute Chicago or any other art gallery fortunate enough to house it within their collection, let us be reminded of our own cherished moments spent around tables filled with laughter and love.
