EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Act XI Fourth Episode (Actually Fifth): Ronin After Attack Going to Sengakuji Temple, Stopped by Soldiers of Prince of Sendai, To Be Given Refreshments, is a stunning color woodblock print from the 1830s that captures a pivotal moment in the Akō Vendetta, also known as the Revenge of the Loyal Retainers or Chushingura. This dramatic scene depicts a ronin, a masterless samurai, making his way to Sengakuji Temple after the attack on Lord Kira's mansion. However, his journey is interrupted by soldiers of the Prince of Sendai, who offer him refreshments before allowing him to continue. This print is part of Ando Hiroshige's series "The Storehouse of Loyal Retainers," which tells the story of the forty-seven ronin and their quest for revenge against their former lord, Lord Asano, who had been dishonored by Lord Kira. The Akō Vendetta is a famous tale in Japanese literature and heritage, and this print captures the exterior scene of the event with remarkable detail and vivid color. The print is a testament to the artistic mastery of Ando Hiroshige, who expertly uses color and composition to convey the emotions and tension of the scene. The soldiers and the ronin are depicted with great care, each with unique facial expressions and body language. The outdoor setting is also beautifully rendered, with intricate details of the landscape and architecture. This print is an essential piece of Asian art history and a must-see for anyone interested in the Edo period, Japanese literature, or the art of woodblock printing. It is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences.
