EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Distant View of Akasaka Reservoir from Kinokuni Slope, created in 1857, is a stunning color woodblock print from the renowned series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo. This artwork showcases the tranquil Akasaka Reservoir nestled in the heart of Edo, Japan during the Tokugawa period. The scene is depicted from Kinokuni Slope, with a man in maroon clothing taking a leisurely stroll along the edge of the reservoir, surrounded by the lush greenery and vibrant colors of the landscape. The peaceful atmosphere is further emphasized by the reflection of the clouds and the sun's rays on the still water. Hiroshige, also known as Ando Hiroshige or Hiroshige I, was a prominent figure in the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo period. His work, characterized by its detailed and expressive depictions of everyday life, is celebrated for its ability to capture the essence of Japan's cultural heritage. This particular print, with its intricate cartouche and meticulous attention to detail, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The Distant View of Akasaka Reservoir from Kinokuni Slope is now part of the esteemed collections of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate viewers from all corners of the world.
