EDITORS COMMENTS
This color woodblock print, titled "Actual View of Kata Bay, Kishu Province (Kishu kata no ura shinkei)," is a masterpiece from the series "One Hundred Famous Views in the Various Provinces (Shokoku meisho hyakkei)" created by Utagawa Hiroshige II in 1859. The print depicts the picturesque Kata Bay in Kishu Province, now known as Wakayama Prefecture, located on the eastern coast of Honshu, Japan's largest island. The scene is filled with vibrant colors, as boats sail gracefully on the calm turquoise sea. The boats' sails, rendered in intricate detail, contrast beautifully against the clear blue sky. The cartouche at the top right corner bears the title and the name of the artist, Morita Chimpei, and the publisher, Ryusho. The Edo Period (1603-1868) masterpiece showcases the geographical feature of the bay, which is surrounded by lush greenery and rugged cliffs. The print also highlights the importance of transportation during the Tokugawa Period, with boats being the primary mode of travel along the coast. The print is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo Period and focused on the depiction of the beautiful and the fleeting. Utagawa Hiroshige II, also known as Ni Daime Utagawa Hiroshige, was a prominent figure in this artistic movement. His work, like this one, continues to inspire and captivate audiences with its intricate details, vivid colors, and stunning landscapes.
