Asuka Hill in the Eastern Capital (Toto Asukayama)
EDITORS COMMENTS
: A Stunning Masterpiece from Ando Hiroshige's "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (1858) This color woodblock print, titled "Asuka Hill in the Eastern Capital (Toto Asukayama)," is a breathtaking work of art from the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige. Created during the 19th century in the Amakashi artistic school, this print is part of the esteemed series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fuji sanjurokkei), which showcases the iconic mountain from various perspectives. The scene depicted in this print captures the picturesque Asuka Hill, located in Asuka Nara Prefecture, Japan. The hillside is adorned with lush greenery, with the vibrant, rich color of the foliage contrasting beautifully against the soft, muted hues of the sky. The hill is dotted with men and women, dressed in traditional attire, who appear to be enjoying the scenic beauty of the location. Mount Fuji, the famous mountain that gives the series its name, can be seen in the distance, its snow-capped peak standing tall against the backdrop of the clear blue sky. The print's title, "Asuka Hill in the Eastern Capital," refers to the fact that Asuka Hill is located in the eastern part of Japan, and was considered a part of the ancient capital during the Edo period. This stunning work of art, with its intricate details and exquisite color palette, is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The oban-sized print, with its meticulously carved blocks and delicate brushwork, is a true treasure of Japanese art and heritage. The print's timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers, offering a glimpse into the rich cultural history of Japan.
