EDITORS COMMENTS
Ando Hiroshige's captivating masterpiece, "The Outskirts of Koshigaya in Musashi Province" (Musashi Koshigaya zai), is a stunning color woodblock print from the renowned series "Thirty-six Views of Mount Fuji" (Fuji sanjurokkei), created in 1858. This exquisite artwork showcases the picturesque outskirts of Koshigaya, a town located in Musashi Province, in present-day Saitama, Japan. The print depicts a serene landscape with the estuary of the Arakawa River in the foreground, where the tranquil water reflects the vibrant green trees and the blue sky. In the background, the undulating hills and mountains of Bushu Province merge with the horizon, leading the viewer's gaze to the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji, the focal point of the series. The print is adorned with intricate cartouches and detailed background people, adding depth and context to the scene. The use of color, particularly the green hue, enhances the natural beauty of the landscape, transporting the viewer to the geographical features of Kanto, Japan, during the Edo period. Ando Hiroshige, also known as Hiroshige I, Hiroshige Ichiyusai, and Ando Utagawa Hiroshige, was a prominent artist of the nineteenth century, celebrated for his innovative approach to ukiyo-e, or the artistic school of painting and printmaking that focused on the everyday life and natural beauty of Japan. This print is a testament to Hiroshige's mastery of the medium and his ability to capture the essence of Japan's rich cultural heritage.
