EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Kinuta Jewel River in Settsu Province (Settsu Kinuta)" from the series "Six Jewel Rivers (Mu Tamagawa no uchi)," dates back to the 19th century. This stunning work of art, created during the Edo period, showcases the picturesque Kinuta Jewel River in Settsu Province, now part of Osaka, Japan. The print depicts a serene scene of the river's estuary, with its gentle curves and clear waters reflecting the vibrant colors of the surrounding landscape. Two girls are seen on the hillside, engaged in their daily chores, adding a touch of human interest to the scene. The hills in the background are dotted with chore houses, or Chutanzaku, a traditional Japanese architectural style. The print's intricate details and masterful use of color showcase Hiroshige's artistic prowess. The rich, earthy tones of the hills contrast beautifully with the cool, clear blues and greens of the river. The print's title, "Jewel River," refers to the six major rivers in the Kansai region of Japan, which were considered precious sources of water and life. This print is a testament to the beauty and rich cultural heritage of Japan during the Edo period. It invites us to take a moment to appreciate the simple pleasures of daily life and the natural beauty of the world around us. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this precious work of art in its collection, allowing us to experience the artistic genius of Ando Hiroshige firsthand.
