EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's Night View of Matsuchi Hill and the San'ya Canal, from the series One Hundred Famous Views of Edo, is a stunning color woodblock print dating back to 1857. This work of art depicts the tranquil night scene of Matsuchi Hill and the San'ya Canal in Musashi Province, now known as Kanto Japan. The hill, illuminated by the moon and lanterns, stands majestically against the backdrop of the dark, cavernous canal, with boats and carts making their way along the water. The print showcases the intricate details of the scene, from the traditional clothing of the figures in the foreground, including the distinctive boots and geta footwear, to the intricate patterns on the clothing dresses and the colorful cartouche at the bottom right corner. The boot, a crucial element of the Edo period's fashion, is depicted in great detail, with its distinctive carriage boot design. The print is a testament to the artistic school of the time, which emphasized the beauty of everyday life in Japan during the Edo period. The use of color woodblock printing techniques adds depth and texture to the image, making it a standout piece of Asian art. The print is a valuable addition to any art collection, showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Japan during the 19th century. This masterpiece by Hiroshige I, also known as Ando Hiroshige and Hiroshige Utagawa, is a must-see for anyone interested in Asian art, geography, or the history of fashion. The print is currently housed in the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
