EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Asakusa Rice Fields and Festival of Torinomachi," transports us back to the 1850s in Edo, Japan. This exquisite piece is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo," numbered as no. 101, part 4: Winter. The image showcases a serene paddy field in Asakusa, Tokyo, blanketed in snow, with Mount Fuji (Fujisan or Fujiyama) in the distance, an active volcano that has long been a significant geographical feature and metaphor for the Japanese spirit. The nearby Torinomachi Festival is in full swing, as evidenced by the colorful decorations, lanterns, and people in traditional attire, gathered both indoors and outdoors. The print's intricate details reveal various aspects of daily life during the Edo period. Farmers work in the rice fields, while cats and other animals roam freely, adding a touch of whimsy and liveliness to the scene. The architecture, a blend of traditional Japanese and contemporary styles, adds depth and context to the image. This stunning color woodblock print, created by Ando Hiroshige (also known as Ando Utagawa Hiroshige or Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiryusai, or Hiroshige Ando), is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan and a reminder of the beauty and diversity of Asian art during the nineteenth century. The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) houses this precious piece, allowing us to appreciate and learn from the past.
