ABSTRACT

Ukiyoe(浮世繪,うきよえ) is the Japanese folk painting and showed the clothing culture and aesthetic consciousness at that time through the detailed expression on clothing. The aesthetic features observed on the patterns and colors of clothing for women were investigated on the basis of ‘Iki’, the aesthetic consciousness during the Edo period. In accordance with the analysis, three properties of ‘Iki’, the dual tension, were identified through the mutual supplementation in the kinds, sizes, arrangement and configuration of patterns expressed on total 52 pieces of clothing for women and in Kosodae(basic Japanese robe) and Obi(belt) of colors, the difference of brightness and chroma between background colors and pattern colors. Then, the aesthetic features of patterns and colors of clothing for women in Ukiyoe are summarized below. First, coquetry expressed the lyric aesthetic and splendor as the implication based on the dual tension. Next, the spirit was demonstrated by the aesthetic sense of exaggeration and activeness on the basis of the ethical ideal. Finally, resignation was expressed by elegance and plainness on the basis of simplicity(aesthetic in a daily life).
