EDITORS COMMENTS
Daimyo Procession at Kasumigaseki in Edo, 1863" is a stunning triptych woodblock print by the renowned Japanese artist Utagawa Hiroshige II. This breathtaking work of art, created during the 1860s, captures an aerial view of the Kasumigaseki area in Edo (now Chiyoda, Tokyo, Japan). The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the feudal era. The image showcases a panoramic vista of the bustling cityscape, with the distant blue horizon providing a sense of depth and perspective. The triptych format allows for a wider view of the scene, revealing the intricate details of the buildings and rooftops. The elevated perspective offers a unique vantage point, allowing the viewer to appreciate the grandeur of the procession of daimyos (feudal lords) making their way through the city. The print is a masterful example of the color woodblock printing technique, with intricate details and a vibrant palette. The buildings are depicted in various shades of red, orange, and brown, contrasting against the cool blue of the sky and the green of the trees. The print also features the signboards of various businesses and inns, adding to the lively atmosphere of the scene. The triptych was produced during the Kansai period (1854-1864), a time of political instability and change in Japan. The procession of daimyos depicted in the print may have been part of a political event or ceremony, highlighting the importance of the feudal system and the role of the daimyos in Japanese society. This woodblock print is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art or Japanese heritage, and a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of Japan during the feudal era. The triptych is currently housed in the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
