EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Mount Atago, Shiba (Shiba Atagoyama)" from the renowned series "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" (Meisho Edo hyakkei), dates back to the 19th century. This stunning work of art, created by the masterful hand of Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige or Hiroshige Utagawa, showcases the breathtaking beauty of Mount Atago in Shiba, Tokyo, Japan. Mount Atago, a revered mountain in the heart of Japan, is depicted here as a solitary, majestic figure against the backdrop of a serene, blue-green sea. The mountain, with its distinctive brown, craggy peaks, is a popular destination for pilgrims seeking spiritual enlightenment and divine blessings. In the foreground, a man, dressed in traditional Japanese attire, is shown arriving at the base of the mountain, carrying a prayer paddle in his hand. This color woodblock print, created during the Edo period, is a testament to Hiroshige's artistic brilliance and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's natural wonders. The intricate details, from the textured mountain terrain to the rippling waves of the sea, are rendered with exceptional precision and depth. The use of vibrant colors, from the rich browns of the mountain to the cool blues of the sea, adds to the overall visual impact of the print. The "One Hundred Famous Views of Edo" series, which includes this print, is considered a seminal work in the Ukiyo-e artistic tradition. It showcases the beauty and diversity of Edo-period Japan, from its natural landscapes to its urban scenes and people. Today, this print is a cherished piece of cultural heritage, housed in prestigious institutions such as the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate audiences from around the world.
