Sugoroku Players c. 1750

"Sugoroku Players" is a woodblock print by the celebrated Japanese artist Torii Kiyohiro (1737-1776). Created around 1750, the work depicts three women engaged in the popular Japanese game of Sugoroku, a type of board game involving dice. The print showcases Kiyohiro's signature style of vibrant colors and detailed depictions of everyday life in Edo-period Japan. Currently housed at The Art Institute of Chicago, this woodblock print is a testament to the artist's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the fleeting moments of human interaction.
