EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Kinryuzan Temple at Asakusa, from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, captures the serene beauty and spiritual significance of one of Tokyo's most iconic landmarks. Dating back to the Edo period (1603-1868), Kinryuzan Temple, also known as Sensoji Temple, is a Buddhist temple located in the Asakusa district of Tokyo. The temple is renowned for its main hall, Asaka Shrine, and the iconic Kaminarimon Gate with its massive paper lanterns and thunderbolt motif. In this stunning color woodblock print, Hiroshige masterfully depicts the temple complex nestled amidst a lush, green landscape. The temple's red-painted roofs and eaves contrast against the black background, while the delicate calligraphy adds an artistic touch. The image is further enlivened by the presence of people, both men and women, who add a sense of scale and human connection to the scene. The print showcases Hiroshige's exceptional skill in capturing the essence of a place and its people. The Oban-sized print, with its intricate details and vibrant colors, is a testament to the artistic mastery of the Utagawa School during the nineteenth century. This image not only serves as a visual record of Japan's rich cultural heritage but also as a reminder of the enduring beauty and spiritual significance of Kinryuzan Temple in Tokyo.
