EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating woodblock print, titled "Omi Province: Lake Biwa and Ishiyama Temple (Omi, Biwako Ishiyamadera)" from the series "Famous Places in the Sixty-odd Provinces" (Rokujuyoshu meisho zue), dated 1853, transports us to the tranquil shores of Lake Biwa in Omi Province, Japan. The serene expanse of the lake, the largest in Japan, is illuminated by the soft glow of the full moon, reflecting its ethereal beauty onto the water's surface. In the foreground, a lone fishing boat with lanterns bobbing in the water adds a sense of solitude and contemplation to the scene. The iconic Ishiyama Temple, nestled on a hillside, is silhouetted against the night sky. The temple, with its distinctive red gate and ornate roofs, is a beacon of spirituality and tradition. The print's intricate details, from the individual waves on the lake to the background figures, showcase Hiroshige's mastery of the woodblock printing technique. The cartouche at the bottom left of the print provides the title and artist's name, while the oban size and the Edo period date further enhance its historical significance. This stunning work of art is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of Japan, showcasing its geographical features, religious sites, and the everyday life of its people during the 19th century.
