EDITORS COMMENTS
Asakusa Rice Fields and Torinomachi Festival" is a stunning color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1857, as part of his famous series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei). This work of art showcases the picturesque scene of Asakusa, a historic district in Tokyo, during the Torinomachi Festival. The print depicts a vibrant rice field, with lush green stalks stretching towards the sky, interspersed with playful felines, adding a whimsical touch to the scene. In the background, the iconic Mount Fuji, a symbol of Japan's natural beauty and cultural heritage, stands proudly amidst the rolling hills. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print bears the artist's name, "Hiroshige," along with the title "Asakusa tanbo Torinomachi mode," which translates to "Asakusa Rice Fields and Torinomachi Festival." The festival is celebrated in honor of the god Fousi Yama, and is marked by a procession of portable shrines, traditional music, and delicious food. This masterpiece is a testament to the artistic school of Ukiyo-e, which flourished during the Edo period (1603-1868) in Japan. The intricate details, bold colors, and dynamic composition make this print a true treasure of Asian art. It is now housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The print's oban size, a common format for Ukiyo-e prints, adds to its grandeur, making it a must-have for any serious art collector or enthusiast. With its rich history, cultural significance, and breathtaking beauty, "Asakusa Rice Fields and Torinomachi Festival" is a true masterpiece that transcends time and continues to captivate our senses.
