EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating print, "Asuka Hill in the Eastern Capital (Toto Asukayama)" from the series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fuji sanjurokkei), dated 1858, showcases the serene beauty of Asuka Hill located in Asuka Nara Prefecture, Japan. The hill, also known as Fousi Yama or Asuka Fuyama, is depicted in vibrant green color against a backdrop of the distant, majestic Mount Fuji. The print captures the essence of the Edo Period (1603-1868) in Japan, a time of peace and prosperity. The scene is set with a man and a woman, dressed in traditional garb, taking in the breathtaking view from the hillside. The intricate details of their clothing and the subtle shading in the print add depth and texture to the image. The hillside is adorned with lush greenery, including a variety of plants and trees, adding to the natural beauty of the scene. The gentle curve of the hill and the gradual slope leading up to it create a sense of tranquility and harmony. The print is a masterpiece of color woodblock printing, with each hue meticulously carved and printed to create a stunning visual effect. The oban-sized print, measuring approximately 26.5 x 38.5 cm, is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic skill and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty. The "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" series is considered one of Hiroshige's greatest works, showcasing the iconic mountain from various perspectives and seasons. This print, "Asuka Hill in the Eastern Capital," is a standout in the series for its depiction of the hillside and the peaceful scene it sets against the backdrop of Mount Fuji.
