EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening Bell at Ikegami" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Eight Views in the Environs of Edo" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige between 1837 and 1838. This exquisite work of art showcases the serene beauty of Ikegami Temple in Tokyo during the evening hours. The temple, located in the Ota district, is depicted with its iconic red gate and bell tower, which is about to be lit up for the evening call to prayer. The temple roofs, bathed in the soft glow of the setting sun, create a stunning contrast against the deep blue sky. The surrounding forest, with its vibrant autumn colors, adds to the picturesque scene. The intricate details of the print, from the calligraphy on the temple gate to the individual leaves on the trees, are a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the ukiyo-e artistic style. This oban-sized print is a precious piece of heritage art, transporting us back to the Edo period (1603-1868) of Japan, a time of peace and cultural flourishing. The tranquil atmosphere of "Evening Bell at Ikegami" invites us to reflect on the spiritual significance of the temple and the importance of the daily religious practices in the lives of the Japanese people during that era.
