EDITORS COMMENTS
Evening Rain at Azuma Shrine" is a captivating woodblock print from the renowned series "Eight Views in the Environs of Edo" created by the Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in the mid-19th century. This masterpiece, dated around 1837/38, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Azuma Shrine during a rainy evening. The print depicts a winding path leading to the shrine, shrouded in darkness and illuminated only by the occasional flicker of lanterns. The shrine itself, nestled in a forested area, appears as a cave-like structure with intricate calligraphy adorning its entrance. The rain pours down in sheets, creating a sense of tranquility and serenity as the background people seek shelter from the downpour. The use of color in this print is masterful, with the deep blues and greens of the rain-soaked landscape contrasting beautifully against the warm orange and red hues of the lanterns and shrine. The oban-sized print, with its meticulous attention to detail, showcases Hiroshige's exceptional skill as a block printer. The geographical feature of Azuma Shrine, located in the Edo period of Japan, is a significant religious and scenic location. The shrine, dedicated to the god of fertility, is a popular pilgrimage site for the people of Edo. This print not only captures the essence of the shrine but also the spirit of the people who visit it, despite the inclement weather. The concept of "Eight Views in the Environs of Edo" was a popular artistic school during the Tokugawa period, with Hiroshige being one of its most celebrated artists. This print, "Evening Rain at Azuma Shrine," is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic prowess and his ability to capture the essence of a moment in time.
