EDITORS COMMENTS
Asuka Hill in the Eastern Capital" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" created by Ando Hiroshige in 1858. This masterpiece showcases Asuka Hill, also known as Fusimi Inari or Asuka Nara Hill, located in the eastern part of the Japanese capital, Kyoto. The hill is adorned with vibrant green foliage, creating a stunning contrast against the blue-grey sky. The print depicts a hillside filled with men and women, dressed in traditional clothing, enjoying the scenic beauty of the location. The hill is crowned with a small shrine, adding a spiritual element to the scene. In the background, Mount Fuji can be faintly seen, emphasizing its significance as a national symbol and a source of inspiration for artists during the Edo period. Ando Hiroshige, a prominent figure in the artistic school of ukiyo-e, expertly employed the color woodblock printing technique to bring this tranquil scene to life. The print's oban size (approximately 26 x 38 cm) allows for intricate details, making it a valuable addition to any art collection. Asuka Hill in the Eastern Capital is a testament to Hiroshige's skill in capturing the essence of nature and the spirit of the Japanese people during the 19th century. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, landscape art, or the rich cultural heritage of Japan.
