Painting Description
"A Girl As Kiku-jido" is a distinguished piece by the prominent 18th-century Japanese ukiyo-e, Suzuki Harunobu. Dating to circa 1765, the work is a woodblock print, a common technique in ukiyo-e art, which literally translates to "pictures of the floating world." "A Girl As Kiku-jido" belongs to a series of prints emphasizing the beauty and elegance of children clad in adult roles or professions, a popular theme in Harunobu's oeuvre.
The print portrays a young girl standing under an umbrella, depicting the character of Kiku-jido. The literal translation of Kiku-jido is "Chrysanthemum Jido," which refers to a legendary Chinese figure renowned for his purity and innocence, who is said to have attained immortality by drinking the dew of chrysanthemums. Harunobu's rendition of this character masterfully combines Japanese aesthetics and skill with fragments of imported Chinese lore.
Harunobu's handling of lush detail, fluid lines, and harmonious composition are prevalent throughout the piece. The motifs of chrysanthemums and the umbrella seen in the artwork are representative of beauty and protection, respectively. The feminine traits, though contradictory to the original male character in the legend, illustrate the adaptability of cultural narratives and their interpolation into unique forms of art.
"Suzuki Harunobu: A Girl As Kiku-jido" is housed in the Art Institute of Chicago and continues to fascinate art enthusiasts and scholars alike. Its historical, cultural, and artistic merits mark this work as an important aspect of Japan's ukiyo-e art phenomenon.
