EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Act XI Sixth Episode: Ronin Enter Sengakuji Temple to Pay Homage to Their Lord, Enya, between circa 1835 and circa 1839, is a captivating color woodblock print that showcases the poignant moment of the forty-seven ronin as they enter Sengakuji Temple to pay their respects to their late lord, Lord Enya Hangan. This print is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, The Treasury of Loyal Retainers, also known as Kanadehon Chushingura. The scene is set against the backdrop of a serene winter landscape, with snow covering the ground and the temple gates bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun. The ronin, dressed in their samurai attire, are depicted in a solemn procession, their faces etched with determination and sorrow. Their mission, avenging their lord's honor, has led them to this moment of reverence, where they seek solace and guidance from their deceased master. The intricate details of the print are a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The use of color adds depth and emotion to the scene, with the red and white of the ronin's clothing standing out against the muted tones of the snowy landscape. The temple, with its ornate gates and intricate roofline, is a symbol of the religious and cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. This print is a significant work of art from the 19th century, showcasing the drama and intrigue of the Akō vendetta, a legendary tale of loyalty and revenge that has captivated audiences for centuries. It is a must-see for anyone interested in Japanese art, literature, or history, and a beautiful addition to any collection.
