EDITORS COMMENTS
Mikawa Province: Horai Temple in the Mountains" is a stunning color woodblock print created by the renowned Japanese artist Ando Hiroshige in 1853. This work is part of Hiroshige's famous series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue), which showcases the natural beauty and cultural sites of Japan during the Edo period. The print depicts Horai Temple, located in Mikawa Province, now known as Aichi Prefecture in central Japan. The temple is nestled among the mountains, with a cascading waterfall forming a cataract at its base. The autumnal season is captured in all its glory, with the leaves on the trees turning vibrant shades of red and gold. The misty mountainside adds an ethereal quality to the scene, while the temple's simple, elegant design stands out against the backdrop of the natural beauty. The print is characterized by its intricate details, with each element carefully rendered in color. The artist's use of perspective and depth creates a sense of depth and dimension, drawing the viewer into the scene. The cartouche at the bottom right of the print provides information about the location, including the name of the temple and its province. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural beauty. It is a valuable addition to any collection of Asian art and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Japan during the Edo period. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this beautiful work in its collection, allowing visitors to appreciate the intricacies of Hiroshige's artistry and the natural wonders of Japan.
