EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's 'Hara: View of the Ashitaka Mountains and Mount Fuji (Hara, Ashitakayama Fuji chobo), no. 14' is a stunning color woodblock print from the series 'Famous Sights of the Fifty-three Stations' (Gojusan tsugi meisho zue), also known as the 'Vertical Tokaido.' Created in 1855 during the Edo period, this print showcases the breathtaking beauty of Japan's natural landscape. The composition features Mount Fuji (Fousi Yama) and Mount Ashitaka (Ashitaka-yama) standing majestically against a backdrop of blue sky and grey clouds. The mountains are framed by rolling hills and lush greenery, with a winding river snaking through the foreground. The print also includes figures of local people going about their daily activities, adding a sense of scale and life to the scene. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print identifies the location as Hara in Nagano, Japan. The intricate details and vibrant colors of the print are characteristic of Hiroshige's artistic style, which was influential in the ukiyo-e artistic school of the time. The oban-sized print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique, with each block meticulously carved and printed to create a harmonious and visually striking image. This print is a valuable heritage art piece, showcasing the rich cultural and geographical heritage of Japan during the 19th century. The scene of Mount Fuji and Mount Ashitaka is a popular motif in Japanese art and continues to inspire artists and visitors alike with its timeless beauty.
