EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Haneda Ferry and Benten Shrine," dates back to the 1850s and is part of the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (no. 72, part 2: Summer). This exquisite artwork showcases the serene beauty of Haneda, a picturesque location in Japan, during the summer season. The print depicts a tranquil scene on the Edo River, where a ferry is crossing, skillfully maneuvered by a boatman. The low section of the image reveals the intricate details of the ferry, with its distinctly defined oars and the bodies of the passengers, adding a sense of authenticity to the scene. On the right bank of the river, the Benten Shrine stands majestically, with its vibrant colors and ornate details. The shrine, dedicated to the goddess of fortune, is adorned with intricate carvings and a red torii gate, making it a striking contrast against the lush greenery and clear blue sky. The print is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The intricate details, use of color, and composition demonstrate the exceptional skill of Ando Hiroshige, one of the most celebrated artists of the time. This work of art invites us to explore the geography and history of Japan during this fascinating era, offering a glimpse into the daily life and religious practices of the people. This beautiful woodblock print is now part of the collection at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), showcasing the museum's commitment to preserving and sharing the world's artistic and cultural heritage.
