EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Atagoyama in Shiba," dates back to the late 1830s to mid-1840s during the Tokugawa period in Japan. This stunning artwork is part of Hiroshige's renowned series, "Famous Views of the Eastern Capital," which showcases the beauty and diversity of the Japanese landscape. The print depicts the entrance to Mount Atago in Shiba, a significant geographical feature located in present-day Tokyo. Mount Atago, a small mountain with an elevation of 132 meters, is known for its shrine dedicated to the god of war and protection against fire. In this print, Hiroshige masterfully captures the grandeur of the mountain's entrance, with its impressive gateway and the winding path leading up to it. The gate, adorned with intricate carvings and vibrant colors, stands out against the backdrop of the lush greenery and the mountains in the distance. The print also features a few figures, adding a sense of scale and activity to the scene. The use of color and composition in this woodblock print is truly impressive, with the vibrant hues of the gate and the muted tones of the mountains creating a beautiful contrast. The attention to detail and the sense of depth in the print make it a true masterpiece of the Ukiyo-e genre. This print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world. A testament to Hiroshige's artistic genius and the rich cultural heritage of Japan, "Atagoyama in Shiba" is a must-see for anyone interested in art, history, or the beauty of the natural world.
