EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Hilltop View from Yushima Tenjin Shrine, part of his renowned One Hundred Famous Views of Edo series, captures the breathtaking beauty of a snow-covered hill in Bunkyo, Tokyo, Japan during the Edo period (1603-1868). The print, created in 1856, showcases the serene landscape of the hilltop view from Yushima Tenjin Shrine, with its iconic red torii gate standing out against the pristine white snow. The scene is filled with a sense of tranquility and spirituality, as three figures, two men and one woman, make their way up the hill, their figures small against the vast expanse of the hillside and the lake below. The intricate details of the cartouche and the rooftops add depth and texture to the scene, while the use of color woodblock printing techniques imbues the print with a richness and vibrancy that brings the scene to life. The shrine, dedicated to the Shinto deity of learning, Sugawara no Michizane, is nestled among the hills, its roofs and rooftops blanketed in snow. This work of art, a testament to the artistic school of the time, invites viewers to imagine the peaceful scene unfolding before them, transporting them to a different time and place.
