EDITORS COMMENTS
Crowds at the Year-end Fair at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa" is a stunning 19th-century color woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige, from his series "Famous Places in the Eastern Capital" (Toto Meisho). The captivating image showcases the bustling atmosphere of the year-end fair held at Kinryuzan Temple in Asakusa, Tokyo. The print depicts a crowded rooftop filled with men and women, dressed in traditional attire, enjoying the festivities. The temple's iconic red-lacquered roofs can be seen in the background, along with the famous Sensoji Temple in Asakusa. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print identifies the location and artist. The Year-end Fair (Toshino Ichi) was an essential event in Edo Period Japan, marking the end of the agricultural year and the beginning of a new one. The fair was a time for entertainment, merrymaking, and religious observances. The print captures the essence of this lively event, with people of all ages and genders gathered together, enjoying themselves amidst the colorful surroundings. Ando Hiroshige's masterful use of color and composition creates a vivid and dynamic image that transports us back in time to the bustling streets of Asakusa during the Edo Period. The print is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of Japan and the enduring appeal of its cultural traditions. This woodblock print is an excellent example of the Oban format, which is larger than the standard format used for most prints of the time. The larger size allows for greater detail and depth, making it an exceptional work of art that continues to captivate audiences around the world.
