EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Act I: Lady Kaoyo Mounting the Steps at Hachiman Shrine for the Identification of Her Dead Master's Helmet, circa 1835-1839, is a captivating woodblock print from the series "The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers," also known as "Kanadehon Chushingura." This masterpiece showcases the dedication and loyalty of Lady Kaoyo, a central character in the Japanese drama "Revenge of the Loyal Retainers." The print depicts Lady Kaoyo, dressed in a stunning blue kimono, ascending the steps of Hachiman Shrine. Her solemn expression and the somber color palette convey the gravity of the situation. The shrine, a place of Shinto worship, adds a religious dimension to the scene, emphasizing the importance of the identification of her dead master's helmet in the loyalty league's quest for justice. Ando Hiroshige, one of the most renowned masters of ukiyo-e, or "floating world" art, expertly captures the essence of this pivotal moment in the Chushingura story. The intricate details of Lady Kaoyo's apparel and the meticulous rendering of the shrine steps demonstrate Hiroshige's unparalleled skill in block printing. This woodblock print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It offers a glimpse into the world of Japanese literature, fashion, and religion, and serves as a reminder of the enduring themes of loyalty, honor, and sacrifice. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) is fortunate to house this exquisite piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and historical significance of Ando Hiroshige's work. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a valuable piece of Asian heritage that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
